I’ve found out one of the things that keep me from getting things done.

I’ve known it for a while but I don’t really think that I understood the magnitude of the problem

There is some part of me that is so afraid of making a mistake or doing something wrong that I end up putting the task off. I haven’t built the goat houses, fixed the rabbit cages, fixed the underpinning or even installed the wood stove.

This is an extremely debilitating problem.

Now that I truly understand this problem I need to work on finding the solution. There are times when I get in the frame of mind where it doesn’t affect me.  These are very productive times.

I think that I’m going to try the “Just do it” strategy.  I’m just going to do the tasks. If I mess up or they aren’t done right what will it really matter? At least I will have tried.


Most of you probably think that I don’t care what people think. You might think that I don’t want to be part of society because I feel superior to everyone else. The truth is exactly the opposite. I feel so inferior that I feel great discomfort when I interact with others.
