I spend more time planning trades than taking them

I've been learning options for about 8 months while working as a data analyst in Chicago.

Last night I was sitting on the couch with my laptop playing myprize on the coffee table and my phone in my hand telling myself I'd make a decision before going to bed I had been looking at the same LEAP all week and thought I was finally ready.

Then I started second guessing everything maybe I should just buy the shares instead or maybe I was forcing a trade because I'd already spent so much time researching it.
I ended up closing my laptop without placing the order.

It's kind of weird I enjoy learning about options more than I enjoy trading them every time I think I'm ready I find one more reason to wait.
