How to make faster decisions

The abundance of options today often leads to FOBO, the fear of a better option, which causes crippling indecision. Even picking something as simple as white shoelaces can mean sifting through thousands of choices and hundreds of reviews. Distinguishing between high, low, and no-stakes decisions helps reclaim mental energy and avoid analysis paralysis. Embracing a clear process for each kind of decision frees people to act decisively and appreciate the privilege of choice.
