Overthinking multiplies problems without solving them. A gentle detox helps you reduce noise and return to what matters. First, do a five‑minute brain dump. Write every thought messy, honest, unfiltered until your head feels lighter. Second, choose one thing to act on today. Break it into a micro‑step that takes ten minutes or less. Third, limit scrolling. Set two timer‑based windows to avoid constant micro‑distractions. Fourth, tidy one small area your desk corner, the apps on your home screen, or your downloads folder. Visible order reduces cognitive friction. Fifth, end the day with a “parking lot” line in a notebook: list any floating worries or ideas you’ll revisit tomorrow. This framework express, act, limit, tidy, park reduces the volume of mental chatter and strengthens decision clarity. As you practice, you’ll notice that action replaces rumination, time returns to your hands, and your attention deepens. Overthinking will still knock, but you’ll have a simple, repeatable way to keep the door gently closed.
