Simplify! - Personal Practice

I am one of the most detail oriented people I know!

I overanalyze everything! 

Considering all this over analysis, I guess you could say I'm a bit wordy and descriptive.  

Who wants to be that kid who is always saying "Could you explain that again so I understand correctly?", while the rest of the class is sighing "Oh, Not again!" 

Not me!  But, I actually am.  Ugh!

For some reason the universe is sending me the message to SIMPLIFY!

I've had multiple interactions within the last week where others are asking me to be less detail oriented.

Amazingly this has not offended me in the least!  Yes, yes, I know I overcomplicate things and overanalyze, and I've been working on it.

Detail is good, but too much can paralyze others.

I recently received a lesson in which the teacher instructed students to listen carefully.  Listen when you receive feedback, listen when you receive that same feedback again, and when you receive it the third time you better better be doing more than listening!

In regard to this lesson, I realized I've been hearing others give feedback on my detail oriented nature and I've been working on it.  But not that hard.

Now it's time to really do something about it!

It's enough that I know the detail, everyone else doesn't have to also.

This doesn't mean that I stop being detail oriented, it just means I stop trying to force it on others.  If detail is that important to me, I can follow through on it for my own sake.  When communicating with others I need to get to the point.  I need to Simplify!

Now with all this said, off I go to dig into the detail of a project!  My practice with this project is to help keep it simple and not overcomplicate it for others.

Wish me luck!
