What helped you stop overthinking your investments?

When I first started investing, I spent a lot of time overanalyzing small decisions. Every allocation tweak felt important, every market move needed an explanation. Over time, especially after living through a few volatile periods, I noticed that the biggest improvement didn’t come from better analysis, but from doing less.

Simplifying the process, checking prices less often, and accepting that uncertainty is part of the game made investing feel calmer and more sustainable. I’m curious what helped others reach that point. Was it experience, a bad mistake, automation, or simply time in the market?
