So many choices...so little time!

Over the last few months, I have become simply overwhelmed. Most of this is my fault. Being the person that I am, I tend to research things. Taking things at face value isn't my strong suit.

But being overwhelmed has taken over many aspects of my life. It has taken me two weeks to decide what to write about. The hemming and hawing over my blog has taken the fun and joy out of writing. Now I am just plain pissed. Mainly at myself.

From the book The Paradox of Choice by Barry Schwartz, "autonomy and freedom of choice are critical to our well being, and choice is critical to freedom and autonomy. Nonetheless, though modern Americans have more choice than any group of people ever has before, and thus, presumably, more freedom and autonomy, we don't seem to be benefiting from it psychologically."

Just go food shopping. These super size monstrosities feature more choices then most people can handle. There is no such thing as running in for a gallon of milk, which is found at the far end of this football field. When you pick up milk, make sure you pick of the correct one: is it organic/non organic, whole, 2%, 1% or skim? Gallon, half-gallon or quart? Soy or almond? Flavored or original? Don't even go to the flavored coffee creamers section.....

So here in June, where I thought a few of my home projects would be completed, none have even begun. There are so many choices and/or approaches to these projects, that I have frozen in a panic laden standstill. While I have made a few strides in my preparation, jumping into the projects are so far in the horizon, I can barely see it.

What do I need...therapy? An interior decorator? A slap in the face and a kick in the ass? A public flogging? UGH! To be continued!
