Limiting options can lead to more decisive decisionmaking from "summary" of The Paradox of Choice by Barry Schwartz

Having too many choices can often lead to decision paralysis. When faced with a multitude of options, people tend to become overwhelmed and find it difficult to make a decision. This phenomenon, known as the paradox of choice, suggests that while having more options may seem like a positive thing, it can actually hinder our ability to make a choice. By limiting our options, we are able to focus on the most important factors that will influence our decision. When we have fewer choices to consider, we can more easily weigh the pros and cons of each option and come to a decision that aligns with our preferences and values. This can lead to a more decisive decision-making process. When we are presented with too many choices, we may struggle to determine which option is truly the best for us. This can lead to feelings of regret and dissatisfaction, as we may constantly wonder if we made the right choice. By limiting our options, we can avoid this sense of regret and be more content with the decision we ultimately make.
  1. It can be beneficial to limit our options in order to make more decisive decisions. By focusing on a smaller number of choices, we can avoid decision paralysis and make a choice that we feel confident about. Ultimately, limiting our options can lead to a more satisfying decision-making process.
