How do you know if you are actually strategising or overthinking? Can you identify it in the moment or is it only something you can see in hindsight?

For me, it is definitely planning since I will throw myself into language study with wild abandon even it appears reckless to others. My motivation to get out of hesitation is to visualize myself talking with desirable people. I feel if I don't use that motivation, then I will throw away my chance to talk with those desirable people forever. It worked for Japanese😀

Talking to people was my driving force for Portuguese, too! :D
