If we hope to successfully tackle overthinking, we need to take a step back rather than trying to work through the problem from inside our own rumination.

It’s not the load, but how you carry it.”

With the right techniques, we can reframe our perspective and change our behavior, stopping us from overthinking and putting our brains to good use instead

Once you’ve identified useful actions, make as many of them habitual/automatic as possible by building them into routines.

Briefly, according to the 80/20 principle, 20% of causes or inputs into any sort of endeavor result in 80% of the outcomes and results.
