I'm trying to integrate TRP into my lifestyle and have been improving my life in many ways, not just related to women, over the past few months, and now want to have it translate into actually bringing some attractive women into my life sexually. I want to put into action all the amazing information I've learned from TRP about managing relationships with women.

But doing that requires picking them up in the first place, and I'm trapped in a cycle of trying to get more and more information about how to pick them up. I'm getting severely bogged down by information overload.

I'm 'studying' too much and not taking enough action. And the times I do take action and things don't go so well (in the club for example) I go home and rationalize it by saying that I need to learn more.

The amount of information out there is so much, and it's so addictive. It's almost like entertainment, making me feel like I'm doing something when really I think I'm not. I log into YouTube and I've got so many new videos from a variety of seduction and pickup related channels. I log into Reddit and all my subreddits are loaded with information. Not to mention the pickup forums and the TRP/manosphere blogs. And that's not including the gigabytes upon gigabytes of books, audios, and videos I have on my hard drive. I could spend months going through it all and not even have scratched the surface. Even worse, I'm maintaining my own notes with all the information I've learned from these various sources, and it's exhausting. And it's giving me a headache, I know I'm wasting time and spinning my wheels by not putting it into action. Every day spent like this is a day wasted without women and without working towards my potential.

Even right now when I came to TRP to write this very post about information overload, I couldn't help but click on a few of the frontpage links on TRP because they're so interesting. I feel like I'm always looking for the one magical nugget of information that will be the missing piece of the puzzle. When realistically I know the only way to transform my dating and sex life is to regularly put myself in front of women and start approaching them and dating them.

It's amazing to read the stories of many guys on TRP who are clearly putting all this stuff into action and getting real-life experience with it and honing their art of being a man and managing the women in their life. What did you do to put the books away and actually start bringing women into your rotation?

Getting several plates to spin is my goal right now, but some level of theoretical knowledge surely is necessary in helping me make it happen (especially about the beginning phase, picking them up). So where do I draw the line, and how do I strike a balance between theory and action in a way that's healthy?

Tips for breaking out of this trap? Do I unsubscribe from all my YouTube channels and subreddits and blogs? Is NO more information the right answer for me?
