While we stop to think, we often miss our opportunity.

Deliberation has a price, and the price is paid in openings that close while you are weighing them. Some decisions genuinely improve with more thought and many simply become unavailable. The difficulty is that thinking feels responsible right up until the moment the thing is gone, and then it looks like what it was.

Notice which of your open questions are actually waiting on new information and which are just uncomfortable. For the second kind, set a deadline in hours rather than weeks and decide with what you have. A reversible choice made early usually beats a perfect one made late.
