Small changes for the better.

Most of my life, I spent my quiet time coming up with ideas. Matter of fact, I have a ton of ideas. For those that know me well, I am a very analytical person.

I analyze everything around me, constantly. When you meet me, I am very quiet. I am quiet because I am analyzing everything.

Truth be told, I hold myself back from speaking. I do this because I don’t want to say something stupid. I lack confidence in social situations.

The Great Procrastinator

I have one other thing that I hold myself back from, action. I tend to be a procrastinator. I always meet deadlines but scramble to get them done at the last minute.

I spend hours analyzing how to do something. I have to know everything before I can get started. I have found, what causes this procrastination for me.

Paralyzed

Once I feel like I know everything about a subject, then comes the what I need to get started. Here’s what those look like.

  • I need a new camera to start that YouTube channel.
  • I need more followers to start that newsletter.
  • I can’t post this on Instagram because its not a perfect picture.
