I've got a few rough systems that I work with – nothing very concrete, but they seem to work with me.

I find the more complex the system the less I use it – it's really an act of will for me than anything else.

Indeed… ready, fire, aim is the method.

Solid post mate! I know I think much more than I act. I'm always afraid of what might happen if I do it wrong or to late or to early but you can never find out if you don't go and try it.

Ready, Fire, Aim. Ready, Fire, Aim.

I couldn't agree more, I try to have a practice (calendar, recorded note, actionable wordage on a sticky!) that triggers action when I've acquired knowledge of value! … making that practice or system reliable and flexible for all sorts of knowledge seems to be the trick. I've got one I like, do you?

I totally agree… always prioritize imperfect action (and real-world feedback) over perfect plans on paper or in your head! There are things you can experience and learn in the real world that you can never experience and learn in your mind.
