A short personal reflection offering simple advice for reducing overthinking: when feeling anxious or stressed about a choice, shorten the time spent deliberating and just make a decision, since most choices don't warrant extensive thought. The speaker notes this is advice they and their fiancée exchange regularly.

It's not that deep. This is advice that my fiance and I give each other all the time because it's a constant reminder we need to hear. Whenever you're overthinking something, whenever you feel stressed and anxious about something, you're probably just giving it way more attention than it deserves, and you need to just make a decision. Very rarely will you be presented with a choice that requires such a level of thought and deliberation. And so I find that shortening the time you give yourself to think about something and deliberate over it and get stressed out over it actually allows me to make better decisions.
