Decision Paralysis: How to Stop Scrolling and Start Doing

The psychology behind 'The Paradox of Choice' and how to overcome it to live a more active life.

01. The Cost of Choice

Every choice we make consumes brain power. By the time we reach the end of a long workday, we have no energy left to pick a restaurant. This is why we default to 'whatever is easiest' rather than 'what is best.'

02. Curating Your Universe

The solution isn't to have more options; it's to have better ones. By curating a 'Yes' list in your jar when you are in a high-energy state, you protect your low-energy self from having to think later.

Common Questions

Why can't I decide where to eat?

You are likely suffering from Choice Overload. When presented with too many options, the brain shuts down. Limiting your pool to curated favorites in a jar solves this instantly.

Is random selection actually better?

In many cases, yes. It prevents the 'negotiation fatigue' that often leads to doing nothing at all. The speed of the decision is often more important than the specific choice.
