This is all so familiar!  Well, except the bringing work home thing - I can't do that because it's not allowed.  However, I'm typically so stressed from work or odd shifts that I have little mental energy left when I get back home.

Back to the subject at hand - I am almost always in a rut.  You could go as far as to say that I'm not much of a modeler at all, and I wouldn't be offended in the least.  I like modeling, and I love the subject I buy kits for.  My problem is I am such a perfectionist and I set the bar so high, I freeze in fear of making mistakes.  It's a shortcoming of mine that I've been fighting for the last 20 years of my life.  At work - no problem.  It's a confidence thing, and I tear through work with speed and precision.  I'm one of the most junior guys in my section, and I just today started working the Sr Auditor position because the last guy went to another team.  All this in one year of working this job.

But at home, it actually stops me from enjoying what should be relaxing hobbies because I agonize over the details and miss the forest for the trees.  Any suggestions, to include "Jon, pull your head out of your posterior"?
