At times, just about everyone tries to outthink a problem or issue. We believe that by spending more time evaluating every option, turn, or nuance of a consequential problem we can bring it to a more successful outcome. But what usually occurs is not perfection. Instead, we muck things up by aggressively spinning our wheels and creating self-doubt, anxiety, and the need to do more. Why couldn’t we just leave well enough alone and avoid the temptation to overthink the issue?
“Overthinking is the product of under doing” attributed to author, Yehuda Berg.
