Creativity Paralysis
I was in gifted and talented when I was in elementary school, and my teacher once told my mother that I had a brain that never shut off. It was like a bullet train moving at a thousand miles an hour. Now that I'm old enough to understand what that means, I can say she was absolutely right.
In a lot of ways it's quite useful to have a mind constantly in motion. My creativity is higher than many of my peers and made projects easy to tackle in grade school and college. But as an adult, it's actually been more of a complication than an asset. I get so many ideas in my head that I get paralyzed by them all and ultimately do nothing. That's why I took five months just to go premium here.
I'm still figuring out how to shake this creativity paralysis I suffer from even as I start taking the first steps to build my online business. I find myself mentally flitting from idea to idea whether I'm at my computer or not. I'm taking small steps as much as I can, I just wish it didn't feel like swinging cement blocks whenever I do.

It sounds like your mind is starting to rebel against you;). I would suggest looking behind the creative ideas you have into the actual purpose you want to gain from them. For example, maybe your mind says "Oh maybe I can make a youtube account" or "I'm gonna create a post on this or that today at this time".
Many people suffer from procrastination but it is mainly your mind rebelling against you. I would suggest starting a meditation practise and focusing on just doing one website post a day whilst following the training if you haven't done so.
If you need any help with anything, feel free to message me :-)
Thanks for the suggestion! I think if I put down a bunch of ideas and do like you say, focus on posting one post on a certain time and day, I'll be able to move forward more easily. Meditation would probably help a whole bunch too, I'll look into that as well. I appreciate the help!
