Planning and/or wanting?

You know how I love getting ahead of myself, right, well I'm already planning the landscaping that I want to do at the new house, as well as the shed I want, the shelving in garage, the tool trolley as I won't have anywhere to keep my tools at the new place, watching YouTube videos on DIY self watering planter boxes, trying to figure out what type of shade cloth I should use and how to attach it, types of pop up sprinklers, types of Japanese maples, native garden or exotic or a bit of both, gym and pool operating hours, location of parks and playgrounds, PV systems, robotic vacuums, outdoor audio systems, blinds, washing machines, trying to figure out from promo photos if the oven is pyrolytic, future sports venues, school fees for the local private school that my children wouldn't even go to for another 2 years at least, there are probably more but that's all I can think of right now. I remember writing lists for motocamping and planning how I wanted the videos to go, I kind of miss those times. I still have it all written down on the PC and stored for looking back on later when I may actually get started but it is just crazy how the want, want, want is still relentless. I wonder if I could ever just be happy with what I've got and not feel like I should be doing something or feel like I would be happier if I just did this or that, or bought this new shiny thing. I'm sure that there is a whole lifetime of study on this exact type of human behaviour and it would be really quite interesting to see if everyone has this desire to some degree or if there are genuinely people who are happy with exactly how things are.

That started getting too deep.
