Stop using research to avoid the moment research was supposed to support.

Research is meant to prepare a decision, and it can quietly become a way of postponing one. The signals are familiar: reading past the point of usefulness, seeking one more opinion, finding new angles each time you approach the choice. It feels responsible because it looks like work.

Ask whether the last few things you learned actually changed your answer. If they did not, further study is not going to either. Close the tabs and make the call the reading was supposed to enable.
