How do I stop overthinking decisions?
Overthinking usually means the options and priorities are all tangled together in your head. Getting them out and onto the page turns endless looping into a few clear trade-offs you can actually weigh.
A practical framework to break the loop
- Write the decision as one question, and give yourself a deadline to decide.
- Limit yourself to two or three real options.
- Pick the few things that matter most and let the rest go.
- Score each option quickly — gut feel is allowed.
- Identify the one thing you'd need to know to feel sure, then go find it or decide without it.
