Not sure where I read this, maybe on Steve Pavlina...can't remember..but I've started to overcome this problem by thinking about a lot of things like this:
Pretend you are a lumberjack with an axe to chop down a tree. All your learning, reading, studying, etc. is like sharpening the axe...which is great...but at some point you have to start swinging the axe, even if it's just to test and see if it's sharp enough yet. You will periodically need to stop and sharpen the axe again, but you at least have to start swinging at some point to see what happens.
It was worded much better when I heard it... but I think you all get the idea.

Maybe you were thinking of Abraham Lincoln's, "If I had six hours to chop down a tree, I'd spend the first four sharpening the axe."
Or perhaps someone who quoted him and expanded upon the idea.
