Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!

Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!

Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.

So, how’s it going?

Interesting indeed. Article pitches the need to be a good thinker as a generic need, which I think misses the point. The need to be a good thinker is, I think, essential but highly situational - but I expect it's a practised skill, so there's no harm in applying it in 'non essential' areas. Maybe that then runs the risk of overthinking everything. But then maybe I'm overthinking that.

I'm convinced that a lot of overthinking is just practice.

I mean, so what if I have a plan for the zombie invasion? I also have a plan for a gas explosion in the kitchen, and the one informs the other!
