It’s worth mentioning that this desire to think through things deeply often runs contrary to a bias for action, and it’s very difficult to measure progress in thought. There is a long phase of thinking very hard, and a short phase where things suddenly become clear. So, thinking through and understanding things deeply is often discouraged as a consequence.
When you are required to act, act and act decisively. If you are clear that the understanding could be deeper (and it usually can), you trigger a work effort to understand more. So the next time you need to make a decision you’re more informed.
