hyperfocused on the wrong shit

[Nir Eyal @nireyal]

If you can't stop replaying things in your head, read this:

Overthinking feels productive. It feels like you're working on the problem.

But most of the time, you're not solving anything. You're just burning mental energy in a loop:

"What if I choose wrong?"
"Have I thought about every angle?"
"Maybe I should wait until I'm sure…"

Clarity is usually a result of action, not a prerequisite.

That's why I made a new 1-page playbook: 20 short sentences you can use to interrupt rumination and get back to doing.

Pick 1–2 that speak to you, and test them this week whenever you catch yourself in a cycle of overthinking.

@blizaine @ProperPrompter @OpenAI @gabriel1 @billpeeb That's just how OpenAI operates. They block corporate accounts with Tier 4, provide no reason, and don't respond to emails.
There are hundreds of such stories, and no one pays attention to the suffering of ordinary users.

The only thing that is doing the thing is doing the thing.” — Strangest Loop

Go do the thing.
