Stop thinking.

Should you do A or B?

Well, I think we can agree that you should do... one of them. It would be a shame if you spent days and nights thinking about either option.

Some people will mull over every possible scenario before committing to a decision. As if the time spent thinking about a problem holds as much weight as doing the damn thing.

I reject that idea. Stop thinking about the hard thing. Stop talking about the hard thing. Do the hard thing! Have fun with it! Learn from it!

"Pessimists sound smart. Optimists make money."

- Nat Friedman

There is little upside in being a pessimist. There is little upside in spending lots of time and energy on small decisions.

If you have the privilege to work on hard things, move your body, and eat food with the people you love, then you should just go with your gut and make a decision.
