Overthinking and "I don't know what I should do" -- what's a solution?

Most humans struggle with decisions in the form of:

  • I don't know what I should do
  • I don't know what I want to do
  • I don't know what to do
  • I know what I should do but I just don't want to do it but I don't know what to do instead
  • I know I should be doing something else but I don't know what


I've been in all of these. In most of these situations, people can end up overthinking, which causes procrastination and a general sense of feeling stressed and unhappy.

The worst part, from all that overthinking? Nothing happens. All the overthinking does is generate more stress and frustration.

The antidote to not knowing what to do is t do something. Action, the active engagement with life itself,  always yields more clarity. Clarity is often more useful in the long-run than the quest for more information that can keep people immobilized in overthinking.
