Overthinking is a waste of time, so why do we do it?

Some decisions do require extra thought, but most of the thousands of decisions we make each day can be made more easily. It’s easy to get stuck in an overthinking loop that causes stress, costs money, and keeps you from accessing your creativity.

If you’re ready to start moving past overthinking and actually take action, the 5-step process I’m sharing in this episode is for you. Even if overthinking has been a long-standing pattern for you, it is possible to make quicker decisions more confidently.

In this episode, you will learn about:

• How the same traits that make you successful can also lead you to overthink.
• What I learned about overthinking in my early PR agency days.
• How information overload can get you stuck in overthinking.
• The pressures of past successes and how they often enable overthinking.
• How to know when it’s actually time to pivot and move on (or not).
• The biggest reason you need to stop saying yes to everything.
• A reminder that you can’t control all the variables to success.
• The 80% confidence rule and how it can help you take action faster.
• An exercise you can do today to help you create a reality check.
