Give yourself a deadline before uncertainty becomes a hobby.

STILLNESS

WHAT THIS MEANS

Uncertainty can turn into a way of life if it is never given an end date. Without a deadline, deliberating becomes something you do rather than something you finish, and it starts to feel like part of your identity. A date is what converts an open state back into a task.

Pick the thing you have been mulling longest and give it a decision date this month. Tell someone the date so it is real. Whatever you know by then is what you will decide with, and that is usually enough.
