Paralysis by Analysis

So while I support using available data to rank our options in some rough sense, ultimately we’re best served by avoiding paralysis-by-analysis and moving foward by:

1. Paying close attention to the feelings and emotions that accompany the decision we’re facing,
2. Assessing how motivated we are to work toward the success of any given option, and
3. Recognizing that no matter what option we choose, our efforts to support its success will be more important than the initial guesswork that led to our choice.
