Over-Preparation Black Hole
Endless polishing feels like safety. It’s actually a compulsion that devours energy.

Metaphorical Narrative
Slide after slide.
Revision after revision.
Each tweak promises control, but presence drains deeper into the black hole.
Core Insight
Millions fall into this trap: polishing becomes compulsion.
Proof Snapshot: Research on perfectionism shows over-preparation increases stress, reduces performance, and never yields proportionate improvement.
Liberation comes when rehearsal is starved. One pass is enough. Energy belongs to action, not compulsion.
Identity Line: I refuse to feed the black hole. Observer acts with what is already enough.
Saturday Experiment
On one task today, stop after the first pass.
Send it, speak it, move on.
Sunday Reflection
Where else this week did they sink into over-preparation?
What shifted when they cut the loop?
What identity strengthens when “enough” is enough?
