Overdoing and Overthinking

Creative Work Problems Overdoing and Overthinking

I drew my monster every Monday in just a few hours. There is no time for overdoing and overthinking for me within this timeframe! I’m not always happy with the result, but with this method, I made almost 200 monster drawings and some of my best artwork.

Another way against overthinking concerning decision-making is the 10 | 10 | 10 rule. What do you think your decision will affect you in 10 minutes, 10 weeks, or 10 years? You won’t be overdoing and overthinking anything if the decision you make doesn’t matter to you 10 weeks from now.
