Totally agree with all of this. Well put!

I read a great Thoughbot article called Start with the Problem that I think of when I get into the "overthinking" zone. I find it helpful to step back from my particular solution and take another look at the actual problem I'm trying to solve. After having been stuck in the weeds, changing perspective can be all that's necessary to get un-stuck.

Totally agree, sometimes you end up making the solution a problem in of itself, and forget about the actual problem at hand.
