   I can be quite indecisive. I'm often paralysed for fear of making the wrong choice. I can spend ages in a grocery store isle trying to make the optimal choice. I can spend months trying to pick a vacation spot before failing because none of them seemed good enough. I often put off decisions until it's too late because I can't make up my mind. How do people make decisions quickly? My brain is overwhelmed wirh pros and cons. Sometimes I just pick randomly because I can't make an informed decision.

      @thor Really just picking randomly is the ticket. Filter out the truly bad choices and the ones remaining are probably equally decent. Just take one. If it turns out to be a bad choice for some reason, you'll know to filter on that aspect next time.
      
      You'll have 60-80 years to do again whatever it is you're doing, this particular time isn't all that important. You know, unless it is.

      @thor I have a friend Mark who has been calling me a couple of times per month for advice on buying a computer since 2012. He has still not bought one yet. He can't decide either.
