OCD

One problem with being a little bit obsessive compulsive is that it can be overwhelming at times. I find things that interest me, and then make up these impossible or nearly impossible lists in order to get the most out of my interests. I'm a pretty disciplined person and while I enjoy doing things that interest me, and I enjoy ticking off things from the lists I make, my interests seem to wane,but I still feel obligated to work on the lists. I then find myself spending massive amounts of time trying to complete things on a list that no longer interest me. Its surprising how long I can do things when I've lost the desire to do them because they are part of a list. This wastes a massive amount of time, and takes a lot of my reserve of patience and discipline that I could use to be doing something more productive or enjoyable. I've been in a pensive mood for the last week or so, and I thought it would help me to write about things so I can remember them for the future, and forget them, or at least stop thinking about them. Writing (although I hate it) also help to further flesh out ideas. I've already thought about blogging once a day, or once a week etc. which is an OCD thing to do, and again adds a burden. Some tedious lists that I've made include lists of movies, books to read, books to buy, dieting, golf courses, exercising, travelling, stamp collecting and others. I think if I could try and do things in moderation, I would enjoy them more, expand my interests, and have more time. Any suggestions on how to do this without getting professional help?
