So Many Thoughts, So Little Time

Ever just have too many thoughts in your head?  Of course, I have been accused on occasion of not thinking and there have been plenty of times that I have acted or spoken without giving appropriate thought first.   In this case what I mean is that sometimes I get what is the opposite of "writer's block."  Its not that I can't think of things to write or do, it is that I have too many thoughts and have trouble narrowing them down.  I've actually been having that trouble with blog posts.  I have several draft ideas jotted down as well as other ideas rumbling around in my head and I have trouble deciding which one to work on.  In trying to decide, I keep going 'round and 'round and short of cancel out.  The same happens with big projects.  There are several big projects or ideas for big projects that I have but again, trying to start one can defeat me.

The whole thing makes me feel rather foolish because I know that all I really need to do is just pick something and do it.  While that is easy to say and easy to know, the doing of it someone still escapes me at times.  Makes me question my own soundness of mind sometimes.  :)  Of course, I have read places that this is something that happens to some people, but it doesn't make me feel any less defeated when I get caught in a loop and don't accomplish as much as I should because I have so many good choices.    This is one reason why sometimes procrastination produces results.  When an impending deadline looms, it provides that focus and direction which can suddenly move me to action.  I have been working for years now not to need that to function.  Doing better, but not hitting 100% yet.

So today, I decded to beat the loop by writing about the loop.  That meant that I got something written and can check another thing off my list and move on to the next one.  There, that worked.  Onward and forward.

On a personal note, after a busy weekend and a busy week so far, I am excited that tonight the only thing on my agenda is supper with my family and an evening with my wife!   Very exciting!
