Thinking Isn't Always Progress

Many people mistake constant mental activity for productive thinking. In reality, endlessly revisiting the same problem often produces diminishing returns.

Signs of Productive Thinking

• You discover new information.
• You clarify your options.
• You make a decision.
• You identify the next action.

Aim for Clarity

The purpose of thinking is not simply to think more. It's to understand better and take wiser action.
