#157: The Overthinker's Guide to Not Over-Planning

What happens when a former anxious overthinker goes to London with no plan? This week, I’m walking you through the real-life experiment I ran last month: a 4-day solo trip to London with one plan (see the Harry Potter show) and zero itinerary. My goal? To enjoy myself without burning brain energy on constant second-guessing or planning every minute of the day. In this episode, I’m sharing the decision-making strategies I used before, during, and after the trip to: Avoid regret Reduce friction Feel present Make quick, clear choices (even when I wasn’t sure what I wanted) But this isn’t just for travel: If you’re someone who struggles with overthinking daily decisions or wants to stop wasting mental energy on what-if spirals, this episode will help you rethink how you make choices — and how to support yourself better while doing it. We talk about: Why clarifying your intentions before any big decision helps everything feel easier How to set parameters and use "decisions in advance" to avoid getting stuck What happens when you affirm your choices once you make them What to do when you genuinely don’t know what you want How to limit your options in a way that actually feels freeing Cheerio!   LINKS!
