Analysis paralysis is when someone is unable to make a decision because they overthink or overanalyze a situation. It can occur in many situations, including when making career decisions, choosing investments, or analyzing data. 

Common causes

  • Too many options: Having too many choices can lead to endless analysis and an inability to decide. 

  • Fear of failure: Being afraid of making a mistake can lead to overthinking. 

  • Perfectionism: Wanting everything to be perfect can lead to an inability to act. 


How to overcome analysis paralysis 


  • Set deadlines
  • Narrow down your options early
  • Practice making quick decisions
  • Break tasks into smaller steps
  • Embrace imperfection and learn from mistakes
  • Find the source of your overanalyzing
  • Ask for help
  • Trust your decision-making style
  • Resist being a perfectionist

When to seek help

If analysis paralysis is causing you significant distress, anxiety, or overwhelming stress, you should consider seeking professional help.
