I tend to sit around and think too much. For example, I'll think about putting my socks in the laundry, or doing laundry, or cleaning my room. I'll think about it for about 30 minutes until I realized that I should have just done it rather than wasting time thinking about it. Anyone else do this?

[yarita]

Yeah I do it all the time.

It's like I feel like I'll gain more time planning things out than I will just winging it and doing it.

[Avgustslim]

I've been thinking about playing a game for the last 20 minutes or so instead of browsing the forums up at futuremark...

Oh the Irony!

[Saispapedlimi]

Nope i just do it
when i see a mess or laundry in this case... i need to clean it up.

When i am behind my computer desk and my digicam isn't on the place it was yesterday,

How do you do it. I wish I could do it that way I wouldn't be so far behind on my homework as I just sit around thinking about doing it but than I don't

Something i got from my mum ,
not such a bad thing.. i guess

Same goes for making up the bed, i have to do it right away ones i wake up..

[SallythePearl]

Uhm well you just stop thinking and do it,..

[Ndptbudd]

I know it sounds easy to just "do it" and not think about it, but it's really difficult for me. Like that funny Youtube video link that was posted, I try to plan out every little thing and think of the best way to do each little task. I suppose it's a way to compensate for my laziness by actively using my mind instead of my body???

[SallythePearl]

so listen have you ever jumped of the 10 meter boards at a swimming pool ?
You can´t stand at the top for hours breaking your head about all the varieties of jumps you could make, and all the things that could happen on the way down, on impact, underwater, etc.
Or you could just run and jump, get it over and enjoy the thrill of spontaneous actions.

[PekHyvac]

Since I'm not the only one who suffers from this, what would be the psychology explanation for this?

Stop taking drugs!

Yep, pretty much... I can be damn indecisive/over-analyze a lot of things.

Well basically, thinking about something is usually much easier than doing it!

[Ndptbudd]

Stop taking drugs!

I'm 100% clean! No drugs in me. I don't smoke, either. I drink alcohol about 2x-3x a year in only social settings.

As an internet doctor, I diagnose this problem as avoidance behavior. You are lazy and avoid doing the necessary work by thinking about it doing it. Some people enjoy that time by not thinking about the work at all and others, like yourself, stress yourself out by thinking about the work that needs to be done. You think about doing the work because you want to make yourself believe that you are not lazy.
