Not deciding is still deciding. You just let the clock cast your vote.

Avoiding a decision feels like keeping your options open, and for a while it is. Then the application closes, the spot fills, the person stops waiting, and something got chosen anyway without you in the room. Delay is not neutral. It just moves the choosing to a deadline that has no opinion about what you wanted.

Look at whatever you have been sitting on and find its actual expiry date. Put that date somewhere you will see it. Deciding two days early, even badly, beats finding out the clock voted for you.
