I understand what you all are saying about averages and I get that each situation is different, but I was just looking for opinions.

I am very much the worrier and the planner of sorts. When I want to do something, it's very much A, B, and C and when A happens, I expect B to follow. When this doesn't happen, I become lost because I'm not the best at adapting. That's why I'm very deliberate in my planning--sometime too much. I do have a tendency to over-think a situation and in the end, I end up making the same mistakes as I was trying to avoid. I don't know why this is, but it happens to me quite a bit.

I do wish there were a set of steps that I could follow that would fix everything and tell me how long that would take, but I know that is unrealistic. Unfortunately, because I am a fixer and a planner, going into a situation without a plan and just "winging it" goes against who I am and is very difficult for me.
