I wouldn’t say I’m the kind of person who overthinks stuff. I usually don’t have the luxury of time to spend thinking about options. I’m also primarily practical when it comes to projects at work and family situations. I figure out what needs to happen, what steps I can quickly take to get there, then I do them. I’m known for getting things done with efficiency and creativity.

But when it comes to my personal projects, the ones that only involve myself, I tend to weigh too many options, get buried in endless research, and overwhelm myself with a lot of acquired information.

I know I should just do it and get it over with, but I don’t. At least not right away. I get so frustrated with myself! I’m still trying to figure out what underlying subconscious thought is holding me back.

Is it some kind of fear? A preference? Am I missing clarity or commitment? What am I waiting for before taking action?

Writing out my thoughts and thinking about this some more may possibly illuminate the solution to this issue. But then again, I suspect this is another one of my tactics to further procrastinate and delay any productive moves.
