This has been my experience as well. What I've found helpful is to just take a decision real fast and move on. Sure, it might be a bad decision but it's a done deal nonetheless. I tend to feel less burned out even if the decisions turned out to be bad, vs spending an inordinate amount of time debating decisions. And I have gotten myself stuck in some real holier than thou decision wormholes, for instance, which programming language to learn now.


I seem to only be able to do this when I have a severe time constraint. I wish I could do it other times because it feels great to just decide and move on.


Set more non-cheatable time constraints.


Just In Time Procrastination.


If I set them, I'll cheat. Can you elaborate a bit?
