When do you know it's the right time?

When do you know it's the right time for anything?  I have no clue some days.  I am the type of person that picks thing apart before doing them, well I pick it apart after too, which is not always good.  I think to myself that I can do it better.  I am a perfectionist.  I want to do things once.  It's not the fact that they should be done once, because there are many projects that are meant to be done over and over.  It just happens to be that I just over analyze myself a lot.  Its part of my make-up of my personality.  I am critical of everything I do.  I just want it all to be exact the first time, why do it wrong over and over.

I know it's not easy for me to do this, because it occupies my brain to have to think about this, so if there is anyone like me, which I know there are many of you out there, it becomes overwhelming at times.  I love to help people and to create things.  Again, I over analyze what I do.  I try not to, believe me, it's hard not to when you have done it all your life.  I tend not to get involved anymore because I do this.  So I ask.  When do you know it's the right time?  For anything for that matter.  Getting involved or moving or dating or having kids.  Anything can be inserted at the end of that question really.  I know its not an easy question for anyone to answer, but ask yourself and then be very true.  Don't just make yourself believe its ok and do it.

You have to write it down an pros and cons list of sorts.  Make it real, then maybe you will know.  I would write the list, then over analyze it.  I know myself, I really would.  In my case it would work though.  It may not work in every situation for me, but at least I know I was giving it my all.  Can this work for everyone?  A list, writing it down, yes.  I would definitely say yes.  Then you would see it in writing and can go over all the details.  So you would know it the timing were right.  I know that life is worth living and should never be put on a list, this is one thing that should never be put into play for any reason, but for most other things, yes make that list and then you will know when and if it's the right time.
