Unrivaled Man

How To Escape From the Labyrinth of Overthinking


Listen Later

Have you ever spent so much time getting ready for something that you actually never did it? Over preparing can be as crippling as never getting the courage to start something new, and much more common than we think it is. Sometimes, even if it feels too scary, the perfect thing to do is jump right into things and take imperfect action. 


In this episode, we talk about excessive preparation, the analysis paralysis most of us have. We delve into how to recognize we are overthinking something, getting lost in a quest for perfection, and delaying the execution of our best ideas. We go through the difference between being prepared and scared of trying new things, the power of taking imperfect actions, and being at peace if something new we try doesn't work at all.


In This Episode, You Will Learn:

  • The analysis paralysis and its effects (2:42)
  • About my fears and my first podcast experience (6:46)
  • Helping ourselves setting realistic and considerate (but definitive) deadlines (8:59)
  • The freedom only taking imperfect action can provide (10:27)
  • About shaking off the fear of trying something new (14:33)
  • The importance of setting clear expectations to ourselves, and what good enough looks like for us (15:44)
