The Over Thinkers Struggle
So I just got to lesson 3 of level 2, and my biggest set back is over thinking. It's like I have all these ideas in my head and then when I go to do my keyword searches, and look up different words that would help draw traffic to my site, I give myself anxeity. LOL... I am a Capricorn, so by nature, we are know to over think, over analyze everything. Which can be a gift and a curse, espicially when it comes to getting the ball rolling on projects. I always noticed that I work better under pressure, when deadlines are sitting at my back door. And as I am writing this post, I had an epiphany moment. HA! I think the reason why I wait until the last minute to complete most assingments in school because it causes me to go with it, instead of trying to go back and keep making changes or modifications to the effect that it just messes up a perfectly good thing. I know what you are thinking, not a healthy way to live my life. I understand that procrasination never helped anyone. It defenitly can be a goal killer. I guess im just venting, trying to get out of my own head, my own way. Just go with the flow, I mean the tag line of my site is about going with the flow.....GOOD GRIEF SHAMANE! GET YOURSELF TOGETHER GIRL. Okay well, back to work I go, so much I want to say, or share with the world, and this is the perfect time to get my ideas from my head and to my blog. Was gonna say paper, but we are so modern now who writes when you can type lol. Back to the lab I go!

I can relate -overthink. Even at my "regular" job it takes me time to compose a message in chat - my process is I write it then go back and rewrite, rewrite, repeat lol- it drives my co-worker crazy - she says "just send it" lol. I've never been able to procrastinate - the pressure would surely send me over the cliff lol. Thanks for sharing and best wishes in your endeavor with WA.
LOL yes that part the re-writing! And then the anxiety of finally sending it and thinking, I could have made some more changes lololol.
I overthink way too much about nearly everything. I've got anxiety, so a lot of my overthinking is worry over random, silly crap that isn't that important. Should I have said this? Man, I should have done this. What would have happened if I had done this?
Man, texting sometimes for me requires six different 'drafts' of two sentences and possibly an hour writing sometimes I overthink too much.
We definitely need to smack ourselves upside the head and get on with it. How much time wasted doing this?
So I feel your pain there. Keep it going. Try to turn off your mind. Just do it. ^_^
Thanks, I definitely can relate. The text message scenario, I laughed so hard because it is the truth! lol

I'm a last minute, fly by the seat of my pants kind of girl! Until I went to University and had to do in depth research and analysis. However I have now been able to combine the two (I hope).
Whenever I am blocked the best thing to do is just let yourself write, let it flow with no agenda. What you find id often you will do your best writing and the facts and research naturally imbed themselves in.
I always manually write my subtitles and my immediate bullet points that way I keep myself on track when I am flowing : )
Great advise, I know how going with the flow can lead to 100 different things at once. Will try that.
Yeah especially if you break your post into 500 word sections. Give yourself a subtitle, have your research beside you (if you need research and then just write. At the end you may need to cut some out, but I find it much easier. Enjoy!! And don't stress over thinking and analysing just means you care xx
