Tried writing blog posts without any SEO tool for 2 weeks straight

I turned off Surfer SEO and just wrote based on what I thought was useful, and my organic traffic actually went up 30%. Has anyone else seen better results when they stop optimizing so hard?

Well, overthinking anything usually backfires in my experience.

Wait, hold on - did you say ANYTHING backfires if you overthink it? Because I overthought ordering a pizza last week, like really went deep on whether pepperoni or sausage was the better choice, and somehow ended up with Hawaiian which everyone knows is a mistake. But I feel like there's a difference between overthinking something simple like that versus overthinking something big like a job decision or relationship stuff. Overthinking the little things usually just wastes time, yeah, but overthinking the heavy stuff can actually save you from some real bad outcomes if you ask me.
