Eager. Impatient? Micro-managing? I made a financial plan for the next 3 years, and I can not think of anything else.

Asked by squirbel (4297points) March 8th, 2018

I am a planner.

I have plans for almost every facet of my life. It is just how I am wired.

My problem is that I feel as though I am obsessed with this new financial plan. It is difficult for me to do any activity without my mind wandering to my beauteous spreadsheet I made.

Yes, my spreadsheet is nerd porn. And I cannot help admiring it and fiddling with it. I have automated everything represented [savings, bills], and so I do not really have anything left to do but wait for the coming years to come to fruition.

My issue, and the reason I have come here is that I cannot function properly without opening my spreadsheet.

I cannot read a book the way I used to without thinking about it.
I cannot watch Netflix for longer than 30 minutes without thinking about it.
I cannot play a game for very long without thinking about it.
I cannot do my Korean lessons without thinking about it.
I cannot complete my coding lessons without thinking about it.

I believe this means I am obsessed.

I just want to sit back and let the plan just happen as I have organized it to. If anything, I would love to forget it. oh, I would LOVE to forget it.

Can you help me or give me ideas?
