What to Do When You Keep Going in Circles on the Same Problem

H howtolive.guide ·

Circular thinking usually means you're missing a constraint or a piece of information, not that you need to think harder. Write down every assumption you're making — one of them is wrong. Alternatively, set a deadline: "I will decide by Thursday with whatever I know by then." Deadlines break loops because they force action over analysis.

The point
Circular thinking means a missing piece, not insufficient effort — write down your assumptions and find the wrong one.
