The Perfection Procrastination Paradox

So, apparently my hopes and dreams of writing and keeping up a consistent blog is a bit harder to do than I imagined. It's not like I haven't run a blog before, I know how to do this. I told myself: "Self, all you have to do is think about what you want to write, and write it."  Well, that is not working out, mainly because, according to my therapist I have an issue with perfection (which must only apply to my writing), and second I don't do very well with managing my time.

I have about thirteen blog post I have actually started but never finished because it just didn't look right or I couldn't get it written out the way I wanted. When that happens I stare at the computer, get frustrated and go into a baby tantrum, and just close everything out and go brain dead (which apparently is a Sagittarius trait). That normally leads to watching one of the thirty shows I have saved on my DVR to catch up on. Sometime in between fast forwarding commercials and mindlessly scanning Facebook I happen to look up at the clock and see that it's three hours later and I've got nothing done, which leads to my next problem.. time management.

Dividing myself between work, a business, writing a novel and taking care of family and sometimes myself, I can barely remember the word blog. Those things are not an excuse though. I actually set aside time to write or at least work on my blog even if it's just thirty minutes, but somehow it always ends up not happening. Or it does happen, but never gets finished (see above paragraph). It's a vicious cycle you see...

Maybe I'm stressing myself out or putting unrealistic expectations on myself, who knows. Maybe I should just wait until I get the urge to write and just let it flow naturally. Maybe I have ADD. I don't know, but I've got to do something. I love writing, I have got to write. I have to get these thoughts out of my head before I spontaneously combust. Yeah I know that makes no sense but that's the way I'm feeling right now.

So, I'm enlisting your help.  If anybody has any tips on the "cure" for procrastination, writers block, perfection anxiety(I just made that one up), please let me know. I'm taking any and all suggestions!
