+I've been putting off working on Gopherizer, the script to convert an HTML file
+to Gopher-compatible syntax, for a couple days now. I think the main reason is
+that I feel like I'm unfamiliar with how to solve the problem and don't know
+where to begin. I'm also worried about writing a script, having it work, but
+then it being a mess of spaghetti code which I wouldn't want to release to the
+public (since I actually intend for others to use this).
+
+Really though, if I don't start working on it, I'm never going to figure out how
+to solve the problem. If I don't bother to program it, nobody can even use it
+anyways. Procrastinating on it isn't going to solve those problems or ease my
+concerns. Instead, I should just get stuck in and write. If I try doing things
+one way and that doesn't work out, then I can just try different things. If the
+code is messy or inefficient, that can be improved later on by either myself or
+others.
+
+There really is no point procrastinating. It doesn't have to be perfect. I
+should just do it.
