finish what I've started (read all 3 entries…)
Execute... to hell with planning 2 years ago

I’m great at problem solving, planning, visualizing. Really.. show me the issue and I know just what to do… not only to fix the current problem but make the situation ABSOLUTELY-PERFECT-SO-IT-WILL-NEVER-HAPPEN-AGAIN!!!

I just can’t stop seeing and solving the problems in my head long enough to actually get it done… and of course, I refuse to solve just the current problem,
I MUST FIX THE ROOT CAUSE

All that translates to a humongous pile of UNFINISHED CRAP.

Not only is the original problem still there, but I’ve managed to magnify it, bringing all the previously hidden, unobtrusive, subtle, possible future intrusions and variations right up front for constant inspection…. Of course, I’m on to the next issue by then, so I just end up with MORE to overlook, but still sit in the back of my head…

So, before I tackle anything else, I want to FINISH:
*my backyard landscaping
*the family pictures, sort, send to aunt barbara and other relatives who know who the heck these people are
*all the stuff i’m going to get rid of someday on ebay
*setting up my office
*filing and distributing digital pics.
*getting an extended warranty for my car.
*doing all the misc stuff I told Ken I’d do

I hate when people use the term..

“analysis paralysis” at me.

Especially since it applies.

All the best with this, ThreeHundredThirtyThird_Kat. Say hello to those ahead and behind you. I love all Kats.

Missed this

I’d never heard that term before and have run across it several times in the past days… Does it ever apply on so many levels! Was just thinking today about how I quit formal analysis a few months ago. Therapist was skeptical, but I knew I had to stop, didn’t know why then, but today I’m pretty sure I knew it was analysis paralysis and it had to stop!

333’s always been my favorite number. I like all the repeating numbers, some ocd thing I’m sure. Happy new year!

You express this dilemma so perfectly! Such a horrible malaise. And the beautiful way you turned these words>>>>>

I couldn’t have said it better!

doing stuff

Hey, Kat;

I’m Kat, too. Could be the numerologists are right after all. It’s how we spell our name (twilight zone music happens now). Everything seems so clear and right and then wants more then I have to give.

Big Van Morrison fan.

Landscaping: I’ve been working on crop circles. I haven’t got a clue what to plant but that seems secondary.

I refuse to clean my car until such a time that my car learns respect.

Could have gone big-time competition in weight lifting (bowed out; in the end there was just me and the challenge of doing it right)

I am an artist I just need more supplies.

I don’t know yet if my heart’s been broken. Maybe that’s even worse.

Oh, yeah, women shun me. Come back if you will.

Kat
