Ever happened to you: An idea appears. It’s such a gorgeous idea you can’t wait to enforce it!
But instead of that, you start to analyze it. You ask questions like whether it’s worth it, how much effort you should put in it, do you have enough time and skills, will it ever work, how much loss it can cost… Here comes the hesitation.

Then you decide maybe you should give yourself more time to think about it. To come up with a good plan. To consider the risk and all points of view. To talk with some friends or relatives and ask for their opinion. To run through all the pros and cons once again. And then once more. That’s overthinking.
Your already hesitating mind is pushing you to do it because it is searching for a good reason to make you give up on that stupid whim of yours!

Do not allow yourself to hesitate, overthink and deal quickly with all doubts.
