The "complicated" mind

I am scared that I will end up turning into the person of the past.  I was lazy and unmotivated.  I have finally realized that I need to keep things simple.  Everything I seem to do seems to turn into a complication.  This is even true when it comes to boiling an egg.  It is not that I am inept, but it is as if my thinking is too "complicated" to do some simple things.  I wish I knew what else is wrong with me.
