How to Stop Overthinking Your Career Decisions

Lucas and Luna explore the hidden cost of overthinking career choices. Using a 2017 Barnard College psychology study on 200+ professionals, they unpack why rumination leads to decision paralysis and lower job satisfaction. Lucas shares a concrete three-question framework to cut through the noise: What would I advise a friend? What does my gut say after 24 hours? What is the worst that could happen, and can I live with that? Luna pushes back with a real-world example from a friend who deliberated for months over a job offer, and they discuss how perfectionism masquerades as prudence.
