Making things harder than they need to be

I tell my students often they are over analyzing what is being asked of them, and making things harder than they need to be. I found myself a victim of the same mentality recently. For our audio file assignment, I recorded myself giving a tutorial in Excel using Camtasia. Then, I produced the recoring in Camtasia and kept trying to make into a Moviemaker file. Turns out, I didn't need the extra step. Camtasia produces the video and audio file all on its own, and makes it a wmv file that can be read by Windows Media Player. I had to laugh at myself for making things harder than they needed to be. :)
