How to Stop Overthinking and Start Executing
Overthinking is one of the biggest barriers to consistent execution. It slows you down, creates doubt, and makes even small tasks feel overwhelming.
Beyond just slowing down progress, overthinking takes a toll on your emotions. It can leave you feeling stuck, deflated, and hesitant to take action—all of which slow down business growth.
So how do you break free from the trap of overthinking?
3 quick wins:
Set a decision-making deadline: Give yourself a set amount of time to make a decision and stick to it.
Take the first small step: Don’t wait until you have the whole plan figured out—just start.
Remind yourself of past wins: Reflect on times when you took action despite uncertainty and things worked out.
3 awareness questions:
What decision are you currently overthinking?
What would happen if you just started without needing it to be perfect?
How can you remind yourself that progress comes from action, not overthinking?
Real-life example:
A client used to spend weeks overthinking every decision, which kept her stuck. Once she started setting quick decision deadlines, she felt empowered and began executing faster than ever before.
