Choice overload can lead to decision deadlock. Whether you're trying to decide what kind of car to buy or what color to paint your wall, the overwhelming number of options make it challenging to make a decision.
Studies show endless options can take a toll on our mental health. Fortunately, these seven strategies can simplify your decision-making process and prevent you from experiencing regret that you made the wrong choice.
Some of the things I share are:
- The science behind choice overload and why it leads to mental exhaustion
- How to narrow down your options fast
- How stepping away from the decision-making process enhances clarity
- How to balance emotion with logic for wiser outcomes
- How to stop second-guessing your decisions
- How to be satisfied with the choice you made
