Stop Overthinking: Decisions Are Often Reversible, Inaction Is Not

I am a classic overthinker. I question most words that I write, I am in constant battles with my mind to start anything out of fear of making the wrong decision.

Most decisions are reversible, my continued inaction is not.

As I am writing this on the 1st of May I have taken the time to look back on what I have done and achieved in April. Unfortunately, if you look at the list of things I wanted to achieve and what I achieved you will see the same pattern that I observed. My inaction held me back more than poor decisions because I didn’t make any. I couldn’t even take action to make many decisions at all.

My goals for April:

• Average daily steps: greater than 12,000
• Exercise intentionally 15 or more times
• Apply for 20 jobs
• Make at least $1 USD online
• Make social connections with at least 2 people

My results from April:

• Average daily steps 10,156
• Intentional exercise 8 times
• Applied for Zero Jobs
• Made more than $30 USD online
