Indecision is the biggest productivity killer - Here’s how to fix it
You don’t need more options - You need better choices

You’ve probably been stuck in this cycle:
You make a decision.
You overthink it.
You second-guess it.
You keep going in circles.
Indecision is a productivity killer.
It’s not just frustrating.
It’s draining.
And the longer you drag out decisions, the more energy you waste, the less progress you make.
Here’s a truth most people ignore:
You don’t need more options. You need fewer choices.
When you have too many things on your plate, your brain gets overwhelmed, and guess what?
You don’t decide.
You freeze.
The key to breaking this cycle is learning how to make decisions faster, with less stress, and move forward - because inaction is the real enemy.
The Paradox of Too Many Options
We live in a world where choices are everywhere:
100+ Netflix shows to binge.
1000+ marketing tools to choose from.
50 different ways to meditate.
With endless choices, you’d think we’d be living in a golden age of freedom. But all these options? They just slow us down.
The truth is: too much freedom is a trap.
The more options we have, the harder it is to pick one and stick with it. And that’s why people default to indecision - because no matter how many options you have, the moment you commit to one, you limit your future flexibility.
And that’s a scary thought.
But here's the deal: commitment is power. The longer you avoid making decisions, the less power you have to change anything.
Step 1: Narrow Down Your Choices to Three
If you feel like you’re drowning in options, here’s the fix: Cut your choices down to three.
Why three?
