In this episode of Business Words, Maria Chapman and Stephen Duetzmann dive into the messy middle between thinking and doing. We share real-world stories (including kid games, broken toilets, and writer’s retreats) to explore how overthinking can stall progress—and how strategic thinking can set you up for action.

You’ll learn:

• How to spot the difference between valuable analysis and anxious overthinking

• Why rest is critical for focus and flow

• How to use systems, intrusive-thought catchers, and AI “homies” to stay on track

• Why decision-making speed is relative—and how privilege plays a role

We’ll leave you with strategies to think smarter, act faster (when appropriate), and build momentum without getting stuck in analysis paralysis.
