Why Do I Write Too Long LOL

Hello WA community!
I just want to pass by in the WA discussions and share my feelings as of the moment. I won't focus much on the quality of this blog, and I hope you don't mind. :)
I'm Overwriting (is that even a word?)

Right now, my fingers and I feel like going in hyper mode. Every time I write a blog post, it seems that I underestimate the amount of content needed to explain my topic. So I overwrite topics and find myself working harder in every post.
For instance, I find my 1,000 word post expanding to 1,500 words, my 800 words turning 1,200, and my 1,500 turning into 2,000 words and above.
I believe this is happening because I include long lists that have at least 7 items or above. Every item has around 2 or 3 paragraphs each and so I feel like I'm having a hard time explaining them all. I'm also adding more sections into my article because I feel not contented with the insights I've covered on the topic.
I believe that long form content is actually good, and it's not like I have a problem with that. But any advice on how I can improve my work and become more efficient in writing will be deeply appreciated. Thanks in advance.
