So Andy Frisella has a phrase I quite like which is `success zombie` which he defines as:

A success zombie is a person who subscribes to every podcast, reads every book, joins every program, goes to every speaker they can, and at the end of the day—doesn’t do shit.

This really struck a chord with me as I deeply relate to this, I find I am constantly consuming `information` online and it's never been easier to do this - we can have anything we want in an instant.

How do people here balance execution and consumption? How do you just execute without feeling you just need another podcast or another book?
