Sloe Times

So I took last week off from pretty much everything that I could and it was good. On the other hand perhaps it wasn't so good. Too much time to think and re-think things really causes the OCD to kick into overdrive. I'd say I'm a detail buy but the reality is I can get really wrapped around the smallest details and never look up if I don't catch myself. Of course being aware of this character trait is only half the battle. As I continue the learning and information absorption process I have to continuely try to not fixate on every little detail otherwise I'll fall into the analysis paralysis that could really sabotage my efforts. I'm about half way through my current book and it's been a little slower going than expected. It's quite the balancing act having a job(career?) and trying to develop the knowledge and skills to make a shift into an unrelated area.
