The More You Think, The Less You'll Do
#1 thing killing your productivity (And How to Stop It)
Today again – I was standing in front of my closet for 15 minutes, overthinking what to wear to a simple outing. It may sound ridiculous.
If you are skinny or obese, you need to join the gym, but be honest: how many times have you skipped a gym session because you spent too much time thinking about the perfect workout plan?? Or maybe you're like my friend Albert, who's been "planning" to start her food blog for two years but keeps getting stuck on choosing the perfect domain name.

Last month, I spent two hours scrolling through YouTube videos about "Productivity hacks" instead of tackling my to-do list. By the time I finished my so-called "research," I was ordering takeout – again. We are all guilty of drowning in the sea of endless possibilities while our actual goals collect dust.
Surprisingly my 5-year-old nephew doesn't spend hours contemplating the perfect way to build with his Legos – he just dumps them out and starts creating. Zero self-doubt. 100% creativity.
Man, when did we lose that simplicity?
