I have a tendency to over-think everything. I suspect someone not-so-subtly tried to point this out to me recently.
An acquaintance of mine recently gave me contact information for a man whose services I expressed interest in. After thinking it to death, I decided to hold off on contacting the guy until after my upcoming vacation, on the basis that I'll have significantly more free time then.
I sent an email, thanking this woman for giving me the information and adding why I was going to wait to make contact. Her response was a simple "Enjoy your vacation!" along with a quote regarding the pointlessness of explaining oneself.
So, was I wasting my breath telling her my plans? I only did so because she'd apparently contacted the guy saying I'd be in touch and I didn't want any misunderstanding.
Yours was a nice gesture. She didn't have to say anything about it, but I suspect she WAS trying to tell you "thanks, but I wasn't even worried about it."

this.
I tend to do it too OP....it's not the worst habit to have...
People are surprising; you never know which direction they're going to turn. And what works beautifully with one person will completely fall flat with someone else (kind of like with men). So don't stress over trivial matters.
I think if you can channel this into your career you could be an excellent crisis manager, wedding planner or project manager. But for everyday life, you might try asking yourself if some little thing might be better left alone.
But there is a place in this world for people who think about consequences and how to manage unforeseen possibilities.

I agree! The last sentence reminds me of what a responsible adult would do.

In that case I would have contacted the guy directly to tell him that you would be travelling until x date, but would be in touch to set up a meeting after that, so that he doesn't think you're a flake.
