Don’t overthink
Put thought into what you intend to do. Yet don’t put so much thought into it that you fail to act. — Ralph Marston
Consider the consequences of your options. Then go forward with the ones that promise the most desirable outcomes.
Think, but don’t overthink. Let your thoughts be supportive of your efforts rather than serving as a substitute for them.
It’s great to prepare a well-structured plan of action. Even so, it’s impossible to perfectly anticipate every eventuality.
At some point you must act on your intentions. Get yourself to that point without excessive delay.
Think through it. Then do it.
