Overthinking happens when we fear failure and try to control outcomes. From decisions big or small, we’d benefit from having a bias for action. We can actually train ourselves to make easier, faster decisions to develop better habits and end overthinking. We’ll discuss this, along with tools to make big decisions seem manageable. This is the first in a series of "Lessons from a corporate life," where I dive into values I learned from years at stressful jobs that can help in any situation. 

In this episode:

Why we overthink 

How failure is fact finding 

How our gut is sometimes right 

What a bias for action is and how to use it 

How to form better decision-making habits 

Reversible, low impact decisions 

Turn overwhelming decisions into manageable ones
