Did you know that if you Google ‘overthinking’ you get over 21 million results?! If you’re anything like me and overthink about how much you’re overthinking, you need Am I Overthinking This? in your life.
‘This book is a window into my anxieties, and maybe some of yours, too. In it, I try to capture the infinite mind maps we, as overthinkers, create when we attempt to make even the most insignificant of decisions.’
Graphic designer Michelle Rial has an awesome Instagram account with nearly 50,000 followers, born out of a need to cut back on work due to chronic pain. She moved from dense charts and infographics to simple charts using pen, paper and objects. The result is a quirky coffee table book featuring 101 charts, overthinking everything from popping zits and drinking too much coffee, to camping and Halloween costumes.
Ever asked yourself ‘what does my tote bag say about me?’ or ‘is brunch financially irresponsible?’ There’s a chart for that!
What are you guilty of overthinking? Here are a few things that always get me:
- Did I leave my straighteners on?
- How should I end this email?
- Am I using too many exclamation marks?
- Should I hand wash this?
- Which recycling bag should I put this in?
- What if I fall asleep on the train?
- Did I put on deodorant this morning?
Am I Overthinking This? is out today.
I love the sound of this; it’s like an insight into my brain! I am definitely guilty of overthinking things, but for me it’s the little insignificant things that I fret about, that nobody else probably even notices!
Yes, I’m definitely an overthinker. These graphics are lovely!
