How do I learn to not overthink things too much?

I have to admit, this is still something I am working on but I thought I would share something that sometimes works for me. When you have a lot on your mind, write all of it down. First, just getting it on paper makes it easier to organize your thoughts so you feel less scattered. Plus, once you write it down and acknowledge it, you do not have to think about it until it is time to do something about it. Then, choose those things which you can do something about and write down the steps you will take to resolve those issues. For example, I know that you cannot pay down massive amounts of debt in a week, but you can resolve to make extra payments or brainstorm ways to make a little extra money, or call your creditors and ask for a payment arrangement. And if there are certain things you really just cannot do anything about, you can focus your energy on those which you can control. I hope this helps...
