Just Decide

Struggling With Too Many Options? Try This Easy Trick!

🔪 Overthinking Every Choice? Here's the Fix. 🧠 Let me hit you with some truth: the perfect choice is a damn lie. This is the critical stage of breaking decision paralysis — and it starts with less. Fewer options = fewer meltdowns. That’s neuroscience and common sense, folks. Try this: ✅ The Rule of 3 – Narrow it down to 3 choices. ⏱️ Set a timer – Give yourself 10 minutes max to decide. 💥 Commit – No more backpedaling. Done is better than perfect. A 2020 study in Behavior Research and Therapy found that time-limited decisions reduce OCD-related anxiety like crazy. And if you’ve ever spiraled over what to wear or whether to send that risky text... yeah, this one’s for you. Still waiting for the perfect pick? You’re wasting your life. The 2020 Psychological Bulletin study backs it up — “satisficing” (aka choosing what’s good enough) drastically lowers stress and regret. Translation: quit trying to win an Oscar for every decision. You don’t need a flawless plan. You need momentum. So pick something, move forward, and stop auditioning every option like it’s a starring role in your highlight reel. This is the difference between peace and paralysis. Choose wisely — but quickly.
