WORK SMARTER NOT HARDER: We Overthink More Than We Think We Do – About THIS
Would you say you overthink things? Well, don’t dive too deep into that one, because, according to a new poll, the answer is probably yes. So, if we know these are the things we struggle too much with, we can address them more effectively – maybe more quickly.
Seven-out-of-10 people say they waste too much time dwelling on things, or considering their options. Here are the 10 things we are most likely to overthink, on any given day:
1. The best way to back out of plans you made.
2. What to wear.
3. Are you making the right decisions with your money?
4. Did something you say sound offensive to other people?
5. How to ask someone for money they owe you.
6. The exact wording of a text message.
7. Why someone you texted or emailed hasn’t responded yet.
8. What your friends think of you.
9. How much to spend on a gift (which is not about the price or money – it’s about thoughtfulness).
10. Why your friend never called back.

When it comes to the social stuff, you can’t know what someone meant or intended, unless you ask or they tell you.
As for the financial things, you can go online or call an expert, pretty quickly; and get credible advice.
When it comes to “what to wear,” start with the weather forecast, then think of the person or group you’ll see – and the nature of the meeting or gathering (casual, dressy casual, formal, etc.).
Do an internet search for etiquette answers, when in doubt.
A new poll shows that the top things we overthink include how to back out of plans – the exact wording of a text message – and what your friends think of you.
