Great article on an important and engaging topic :)
If I find myself really paralyzed on a topic I have a thought experiment I go to: What would happen if I HAD to delegate this to someone else? I pick a specific person (say, an intern at my company) and think through how I would adapt the project so that she could complete it, or at least contribute to it. Often when I’ve finished my thought experiment I realize that the “easy” version of the task I would delegate to someone else is exactly what I should be doing.
