You need both. You need both the critical thinking, analysis part, and the entrepreneurial mindset, ship it part.

Try to recognize when you’re just making the same thought loops in your head.

You can use schematic overviews of your thinking, look at systems thinking methodology. In other words, use a method for your analysis, so you are sure you’ve covered what you needed to.

If analysis is one of your strenghts, use it, it will be one of your advantages compared to others. The “move fast and break things” is not an overall truth. It can work, but in a world of information overload, thinking about your next move, based on facts and rational thinking combined with creativity, will get you further.

Very important. However for planning todos, shipping etc I need to put it in my calendar/planner and be a very conscious while doing it. Otherwise I don't read it any more. An automated weekly "finance admin" task in my calendar does NOT work... But a weekly go-to-gym event does work.
