OVER-THINKING AND WORK PRODUCTIVITY

Over thinking also popularly known as rumination, which is fairly done by almost every 2nd human being around us. Thinking is a complex phenomenon and results in an endless cycle.

Thinking to stop overthinking is also the same. While everyone overthinks, there are people who are chronic over-thinkers, and keep indulging in this vicious cycle rather than working to get a way out of it. This whole process, makes them bound enough to perform up to a certain level, and when they’re not able to achieve the same, it follows differently.

The common mistakes include –

· Not getting started – It’s a humble request to everyone to just start working instead of pondering where to start, the whole day.

· Over analyzing – Simple steps are the most effective ones. Start small, and then go big. Perfect plans don’t exist. Start with what you have and improvise alongside.

· Finding the perfect way – There is no right way to be productive. Be innovative and simple.

· Imagining Problems that don’t exist – Sometimes the most complex problems are just in the brain. The solution doesn’t require much complexity, rather it’s plain straightforward simple.

Thinking too much, often creates a block in the head which hampers creativity and it also creates problems that never existed in the first place. Productivity isn’t complicated and simple actions are usually the most efficient.

Few ways to cope up with the problem of overthinking –

· Practice Mindfulness Techniques, which will eventually lead you to follow your first instinct and reinforce your ability to identify when negative intrusive thoughts come to you.

· Try Active Problem-Solving Techniques. In this train your thoughts to be action-focused so that you don’t feel tired and catch up with your work in a better way.

· Try and Divert Your Mind by doing something else, it will immediately give a relaxing effect.

·  Leadership and Motivation are two most important intrinsic traits that not only allows an individual to perform well but also to keep a great command on their ability to work and concentrate.

Don’t process it over. Just get going and do it.

Now is the only best time.
