Understanding Overthinking

  • Misallocated Mental Energy: Overthinking wastes brain power on trivial matters.
  • Forms of Overthinking:  Ruminating over minor issues and indecision about everyday choices.
  • Opportunity Cost: Overthinking detracts from time spent on constructive activities.

Overthinking happens when we focus excessively on insignificant matters, using up mental resources that could be better spent elsewhere.
