Have you ever wanted to do something but didn’t know what step to take first, so you start researching? 

Before you know it, research leads to too much information and you decide not to do the thing you originally wanted?

Welcome to analysis paralysis.

Analysis paralysis is when overthinking and over-analyzing a problem or decision prevents you from taking action.

It's a state of being unable to move forward because you’re overwhelmed by data, options, or the fear of making a mistake.

With so much information at our fingertips, it doesn’t take much to feel overwhelmed.

In this episode, I’m sharing 5 ways to overcome analysis paralysis so you can start taking action towards the things you want to do or the problems you want to solve.

Here's a glance at this episode:

• [01:51 ] While analysis paralysis isn’t something Raya struggles with, not seeking enough information has posed some problems for her in the past.
• [04:51 ] Let momentum from completing the first small step help you build the confidence you need to move forward without overwhelm.
• [07:58 ] Progress over perfection – easy concept to say but much harder to implement, especially for women.
• [11:34 ] Too many options often results in too much data to go through, decreasing your confidence in successfully making a decision.
• [14:31 ] Raya shares an example of how to pinpoint feelings associated with future goals or decisions to help you decide to move forward or not.
