Why is Decision Making so Damn Hard?
You’ve seen The Good Place, right? Chidi’s decision paralysis is a running joke throughout all four seasons. We chuckle at Chidi as he takes an hour to decide on his breakfast muffin, and groan with laughter when his indecision leads to his demise, or to a fabulous pair of boots. But when people are in my office struggling with decision making, it’s no joke…they’re in a lot of pain. Fear of the unknown, avoidance of feeling hard feelings, lack of trust in ourselves, and our analytical mind are just a few of the contributors to decision making challenges.
