I know I've said this before, but too much thinking and not enough doing. That's been my major downfall with a lot of this subliminal. But it's in my nature to be highly introspective, so trying to suppress that doesn't work and I just end up thinking about thinking too much. It's just a huge mess.
My goal now is really just to commit to doing things and make any amount of progress. If that's reading half a chapter in my programming book, that's better than nothing. My mistake is when I create a list of priorities and I overwhelm myself with what needs to get done and how far I am from the goal. That always hangs over my head and makes it hard to focus. Then there's that need like I HAVE to get more done in the day than I am currently and I feel like a failure if I'm not super productive. The thing is, as long as I have these types of thoughts I'm not going to be productive because I'll be so caught up in anxiety I won't focus on the actual material I'm reading or working on.
