Overthinking ruins momentum

Overthinking drains the energy necessary for action.

Overthinking complicates things and prevents moving forward.

Overthinking causes fatigue and prevents starting anything.

It’s great to have a direction, strategize, and come up with a plan before taking action. Yes, it’s true. Yet, if it’s too difficult to figure things out, it’s better to just start something – anything.

Although there will be (so incredibly many) times when you feel like “Wait, it’s really not working”, staying away from those circumstances will show better ways, other ways.

If there’s no direction or way to do things, just start something small, now.

If you procrastinate and do nothing, nothing will ever happen.
