Pick One and Move On

When you’re overwhelmed by the options in front you, don’t be afraid to pick one and move on.

Although sometimes the implications of a decision merit giving it extra attention—it’s crucial to make sure you get it “right”—there are many other times where moving forward is more valuable than prolonged deliberation.

Sometimes the decision itself is not worth your continued attention. And the sooner you choose, the sooner you can give your attention to things that are. Sometimes there is no clear “right” answer, and waiting longer won’t make one appear.

It’s one thing to make an informed decision. But after a certain point, continuing to weigh your options ceases to do you any good. You know the relevant facts and now it’s time to move.
