Thinking(too much) as a cognitive bias?

At first this may sound absurd, but bear with me. I wonder if thinking could be a bias. I mean the type of thinking where you end up with analysis paralysis. In some areas like math you have to think things through. But in many other areas of human endeavour, you it's more important to decide, take action and learn through experience. If you think too much you get stuck up in your mind. I could write more about this if you want. Any comments?
