Overthinking can feel like problem-solving even when no action is actually available.
Use one simple filter:
“Is there a concrete action I can take right now?”
If there is, take it.
If there isn’t, stop treating the thought like an unfinished task.
This is the Stoic dichotomy of control used as a practical decision filter: separate what requires action from what no longer depends on you.
