Your thinking is likely to become more obsessive and you may believe that insistence, willpower and intense focus will get you closer to your goals. In some cases this may be correct, but in general you are more likely to spin your wheels at this time.

You are likely to obsess over some detail that proves irrelevant in the long run, or over analyze some aspect of a situation trying to plan everything out in advance only to find your plans are meaningless as changes take place.

You may put energy into writing or communication only to have your point misunderstood, or have to rework your project several times before it is really ready to submit.

Over focusing is not as helpful as focusing on the correct target and it will take a while to refine your thought processes and plans so that you aren’t missing your mark.
