If you’re calling it “overthinking”, then you’re doing it wrong.

Maybe? I think “overthinking” is usually about using too much explicit reason/System 2 and therefore missing what intuition/System 1 knows.
I think it’s genuinely difficult to engage with intuition while also thinking hard (source: I think I’m pretty good at this and it’s hard.)

I still don’t think that “don’t think too much” is the solution, so much as creating space for more intuitive ideas to show up, thinking some more, then repeating.
… after writing that I wonder if that’s what you meant in the first place. 😅
