Hi ProjectX,
It sounds like you're actually doing a pretty good job. You've identified your goals and you've worked out a plan, that's a good start.
Why do you feel you are over-organised? Is it:
1. Because you know what you need to do but find you're spending too much time thinking about it and not enough time doing it? Then you simply need some momentum. Remember that lots of little steps can produce big results. Do something every day, no matter how small, that will contribute towards achieving your goal. At the end of each day ask yourself the question, "What have I done today to get me closer to my goal?". If you can answer with anything other than "nothing" then recognise that you do indeed have some momentum and use it to spur you on.
2. Because you have an inappropriate definition of "over-organised"? What has to happen for you to feel that you are doing things in a simple, straight-forward way? Is it that you have to get it right first time, every time? Is it you must not waste a single minute of the day on something other than what you intended? Doesn't that sound unreasonable. Allow yourself to feel less "over-organised" by defining your rule for feeling this way to something more achievable and that is entirely within your control. Don't rely on other people or circumstances which you can never control to define whether or not you feel over-organised.
I hope this helps in some way.  |
