I have a tendency to overanalyze and obsess over details—especially when I’m worried about something.

6 Words That Changed the Way I Interact with People
At any given point in my day, there’s a nonstop to-do list running through my mind, almost like the headlines ticker at the bottom of a news broadcast: Return library book. Buy more peanut butter. Check if we need flour, too. Are the eggs about to expire? Come up with a dinner idea to use…
