I’ll admit it. I will often rethink something so many times that I want to scream.

You know what I mean: I’m going shopping today and on the way I’m going to stop here, here and here. Then, my overly efficient and always helpful thinking mechanism starts in. Maybe you should go there, then here, shopping and over there. Maybe you should shop first, then do other chores. Maybe you should go another day. Maybe, maybe, what if and … STOP ALREADY!

I recently read a really helpful suggestion: Make a decision, then make the decision right.

For a world-class overthinker like me, this advice is golden. Now, I can make a decision and let my helpful thinking tool go absolutely wild ticking off all the reasons why this decision is the absolutely best one I could possibly have made.

Okay, so I haven’t perfected the whole process yet (I’ve practiced the overthinking thing for a long time), but I promise you, my life has lost at least 5 levels of complexity by following this guidance!
