Per Wikipedia:
Analysis paralysis (or paralysis by analysis) describes an individual or group process where overanalyzing or overthinking a situation can cause forward motion or decision-making to become “paralyzed”, meaning that no solution or course of action is decided upon within a natural time frame.
I, as many others suppose, have many things I’d like to do in my lifetime. Nonetheless, even though I’ve gotten better at it over the years, I still feel easily overwhelmed by all the things I want to do, the things I feel like I’m supposed to do, and the things I must do. What have been your best ways to tackle this? How do you prioritize and find time for different interests, exercise while still combining it with work and other stuff?
I just assign a number between one and six to each choice. And then I roll a dice.
If the dice lands on something and my immediate reaction is “God dammit” I roll again until I get a choice I like.
Sometimes you don’t even know a choice isn’t one you want on the table until you pick it out of a lineup of other choices.
