You are caught up thinking about tons of details about your golf swing that you are no longer getting the distances you need from your drives.
As long as you understand the basic swing mechanics, all you really need to focus on is the beginning and the end of your swing. Do not allow the small details between the two points interfere with the swing; this is a time to relax and trust yourself. Establish a good foundation for your swing so that all you need to think about is setup and your finish position when you address the ball.
Place an equal amount of weight on both of your feet by centering the weight between your toes and heels. To aid in a proper hip turn, you should flare both of your feet a little. Your head should be one inch behind the ball and you should play the ball so it is under your forward armpit. Allow your arms to feel as if they are hanging naturally in a straight line from your shoulders to your arms to help reduce tension. Before you start your swing, take a deep breath and hold it for a couple of seconds. Just as you exhale, your arms, neck, and shoulders will be the most relaxed, indicating that this is the exact moment that you need to start your backswing. As you complete your swing, you want nearly all of your weight built up onto your forward leg. Your back foot should be balanced up onto the toes as your back knee brushes against your forward knee. You should have a straight back with your hips and shoulders facing the target.
