The Simple Way To Master The Art Of Timing (So You’re Never Too Soon Or Too Late)

Briefly stated, the 10% Rule says that you need only 10% of the information to get started taking action on things. You don’t need to know “everything” or constantly chase knowing “more” just to begin.

I offered the 10% Rule for the masses of people who get stuck in information-gathering mode but never shift into action mode. The majority of people have this issue, as opposed to the few who, like me, have the opposite issue: sometimes starting too soon without having enough of the information.

The 10% Rule, like many rules, has a caveat: It should not be applied blindly to everything you do. There are some areas where you should get A LOT more than 10% of the information before getting started.

Those areas include (but are not limited to) -

Flying a plane.

Alligator wrestling.

Any planned criminal activity.

Marriage and starting a family.

Surgical operations.

Taking any form of medication.

I saw the boxing match between YouTube star Jake Paul and former NBA Player and Slam Dunk Champion Nate Robinson.
