Slowly goes it

I'm working on my house.  Actually, I'm working on lots of different projects in my house and outside of it.  I have so many ideas, but the fact of the matter is, I'm slow.  It seems to me, that what other people get done in a day, takes me two, or maybe a week.  Or what should take just a few minutes, inevitably turns into an hour.  Frustrating yes, but over time, I've learned to compensate.  When I estimate how long it will take me to do something, I usually at least double the time, mentally, so as not to be too frustrated when I'm not done as expected.  When planning for events and parties, I've learned to 'under-commit', meaning, I take what I think I'd like to do and half it!  I've learned that I'm not great at actually preparing to do a project, either.  Perhaps one of the reasons things take so much time is that I'm constantly running for supplies -whether it be to the garage or to the store.  I think, though, that I've started to be realistic about this aspect of my personality.  I try to be honest with people, letting them know that I need lots of time to plan things - whether its a visit to my house, or a craft project, I need to know when something is 'due', so to speak, weeks in advance.  That way I can factor my slowness into the equation and still come out with an experience or product that I find acceptable.  Do I like my slowness? No.  But I've come to accept it.
