Extending the endpoint of decisions can help overcome analysis paralysis. By considering the long-term implications and viewing choices in terms of intermixed losses and gains, one can alleviate the fear of making the wrong decision. Adding more time to the mental equation makes it easier to act, as it provides clarity and reduces the pressure of immediate outcomes. The key is not to provide an answer on whether to act or not but to assist in moving past the state of indecision by altering the perception of the decision endpoint.
