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?
Zen coin flip.
Assign the faces to whichever choice at the time. Flip the coin. If you don’t like the result and would rather do the other, then do the other. If you really don’t care between them, then do the one it lands on.
Of course with equal weight items, not like “heads, I get to sleep and jerk off all day, tails I go to work”.
