It sounds like "find the story of someone who personifies what you want to accomplish, figure out how they accomplished what they did, then base your process on their approach" is just one more roadblock to progress you can use to divert yourself and continue procrastinating. It's another "I simply MUST do this before I do the thing I want to do."

It makes sense in my brain (evolutionary procrastination, etc), but it would certainly keep me from getting things done.
