Your decision-making style is...

The Overthinker

But wait! This doesn’t have to be a bad thing. You can get unstuck and make your style work for you.

You have a decision superpower!

You love being super thorough and on top of things. YES.

But your brain works overtime to try to answer all the questions, plan all the things & troubleshoot all the problems.

Overthinking is your default Decision Style, and it makes daily choices harder than they need to be.

Best news? You are 1000% capable of unleashing your Inner Decisive Self and making every choice easier!

Luckily (#notluck…you got yourself here on purpose), changing this habit is one of my specialties.

Let’s do this.

Make the most of your style

When you’re not overthinking, you’re making thorough, deliberate choices.

You’re solving problems before they’re even a thing. You’re making good ideas better.

You’re basically a superhero.

And you can stay that way!

When you’re at your best, your Decision Style is really Superthinking.

And the more you own it, the more you’ll notice the benefits of operating how you do.

The next time you do a deep dive on the greatest plate of Cacio e Pepe in all of Rome, or a week-long investigation of the pros and cons of getting a Weiner Dog, put your cape on.

Decide it’s a situation that calls for your Superthinking Superpower and love every second of it.

Don’t judge it as too much or worry if you should be thinking less.

The key to making the most of your Decision Style is feeling in control of when you use it!

Your Solution

DECIDE WHAT’S IMPORTANT.

For decisions to be less overwhelming, they need to be more manageable.

The fastest, easiest way to do that is to be honest when you do not, in fact, need to investigate all 413 alternatives and 6,798 possible consequences of the choice you’re considering.

To avoid this when it’s unnecessary, start asking “What’s important right now?”

This single question will uncomplicate ALL decisions.

It’ll help you respond to that voice in your head insisting you stress about something tangentially related to the choice at hand.

Might you need to address that thing if it becomes a problem? Sure.

But is it important right now, in this specific moment? You get to be in charge of that!

The more you decide what’s important — and what isn’t — the more you’ll chunk things up into manageable bites, take on one thing at a time, and keep overthinking from spiraling outta control.

You really will feel like a dang superhero when you stop yourself mid-rabbit hole (or mid-catastrophizing) and say something like:

“Know what? I have enough information to take the next step.”
“I don’t need to decide that right now. That choice can wait until I get there.”
“Here’s what’s important for this choice. DONE. Bam. Next.”
