I’ve been talking to my parents about different traits and habits… and I didn’t realize just how many of my somewhat extreme work and planning habits have come from them. I can’t seem to do anything without planning 40 extras, or generating dozens of additional ideas, or trying to collect ALL of the ideas. Constantly, there is the urge to finish all of THIS type of work once and for all, so I just throw myself into it. Then the plan changes, so most of that work is useless. I don’t know how to stop it.

Hopefully, someday, it will take and all of the lists and pre-work will pay off. I have to believe its going to happen.
