#158: The Costs of Overcomplicating Everything (and How to Stop)

This week, we’re tackling one of the sneakiest habits high-functioning overthinkers fall into: making everything harder than it needs to be.

From your day-to-day to your biggest goals, overcomplicating your plans might be costing you time, energy, and results — and today, I’m showing you how to stop.

I’m walking you through two real-life examples (one goal-oriented, one daily-life related), and giving you the two HQQs (high-quality questions) I use with clients to simplify any decision or plan.

Because yes: you can want high-quality results AND things to be easier at the same time!

Here's where we go:

• Why smart, capable people default to making things harder
• The hidden cost of overcomplicated plans
• How to spot when you’re spiraling in decision-making
• Two questions to simplify any plan
• A whole lot of permission to do it the easier way
