Don't Overthink It

Let me just get it out there right now, overthinking is my worst enemy. Every situation ever given to me usually goes through fifteen minutes of evaluation for every single detail. In some instances that “quality” has benefited me but more often than not, it has completely ruined everything I had going for me. Don’t let this idea or concept ruin your workflow or thinking.
Essentially crafting is about what makes you happy and you shouldn’t have to worry about what other people want out of this, this creation is yours and you decide what happens. Now that may sound like a lot of pressure but don’t let it overwhelm you. So here is what we are going to do:

-       Make a list of what you want out of this fabulous project
-       Do it
-       Be finished

Sometimes it isn’t the project itself we are overthinking, it is how we are supposed to accomplish the task that gets out minds going. Don’t ever spend more than 5 minutes trying to figure out what you are supposed to do. That will not only ruin your workflow and your process of inspiration, it will take away from the natural beauty and uniqueness. This is yours and yours alone, don’t try to meet the standards of the people around you.



**I created this blog shorter to encourage an open mind and prevent overthinking.**

  1. I agree that for creative projects it's best to just dive in when you're feeling inspired - otherwise you risk losing the moment.
