Rather than “stop overthinking”, which I find to be similar to asking a fish to breathe air, I tend to try to just accept and embrace unproductive moments, knowing that they arise from time to time. I believe they are a necessary part of mental rest. I also tend to be at my sharpest when returning from one of these episodes.
In general I’m known for being a highly productive person, but I’m not sure many people know quite how much time I spend doing basically nothing.
