Technique 1.4: The Infinite Loop of Self-Analysis

Overthinking is the art of taking a single idea and turning it into a never-ending cycle of questions and doubts.

1. Am I really thinking about this, or am I just pretending to?
2. Is this thought even worth thinking about?
3. Can I think about it some more and maybe come back to it later?

This technique is especially useful for procrastination, decision paralysis, and existential dread.
