“DO: Time-box decisions to protect your energy”
Put Decisions On A Stopwatch
Your spiral is not research, it’s delay. Every extra minute you spend comparing options buys you the illusion of safety while your energy hemorrhages. Perfect never shows. Decisions made at midnight don't age well. Set a wall around your choice or drown in endless sorting. The longer you linger, the smaller your courage gets. Use time limits like fences. Decide, then move.
Your brain loves infinite tabs because uncertainty tastes like work. It isn’t. It’s drain. Small decisions clog the channel for the big ones. Time-boxing turns choice into a sprint, not a swamp. Name the criteria. Pick a deadline. When the bell hits, choose the first option that meets the bar. Lock it. Let consequences teach faster than rumination ever will. Save analysis for moves that truly move you.
