You’ve been thinking about it for hours, and somehow you’re even less certain than when you started.

That’s what overthinking does—it creates the illusion that more time will bring clarity.

Try this instead: the 3-minute rule. Set a timer, make the best decision you can with what you already know, and commit when it ends.

Most of the time, you already have enough information. The rest is anxiety asking for certainty that doesn’t exist.

A good decision now is better than a perfect one you never make.
