We unpack why overthinking masquerades as progress and show how small, timed actions restore clarity and momentum. Stories, psychology, and seven practical tools help you move from looping thoughts to decisive steps you can take today.
• the difference between useful analysis and rumination
• the 25–5 and 60–10 time-box rules for decisions
• name the loop and reduce it with visual cues
• next-step-only planning and the two-minute rule
• the three-source limit for cleaner signals
• movement resets and box breathing for clarity
• reframing failure and running a premortem
• the worry window and nightly shutdown ritual
• simple prompts for fast journaling and follow-through
Choose one thing you’ve been overthinking and take one tiny step in the next 24 hours.
