“Top piece of advice in nearly every situation: Don’t overthink it.”
⏤ Jason Fried
My understanding
Overthinking can stop me from taking action. This quote reminds me to keep things simple and focus on what matters.
Most of the time, I don’t need to have everything figured out. Taking a step forward is often more important than planning every detail.
It’s easy to get stuck in my head, worrying about what might go wrong. But overthinking wastes time and energy. This quote encourages me to trust my instincts, make decisions, and keep moving. Sometimes, the best thing to do is to act and see where it leads.
Action beats overthinking every time.
Reminds me
- The hard things in life don’t change just because we delay them. "The cold water doesn’t get warmer if you jump late.".
