One of the most annoying things about everyday life isnt meetings, bad weather, or even emails.
Its the constant decision-making.

Cut to you opening and closing the fridge 100 times before finally eating dinner at midnight.
To get out of this rut, it helps to find a few workarounds.
On TikTok, Hamdani recommended limiting your choices as much as possible.
Instead of looking at 20 different places to get dinner, try boiling it down to three or four.
Analysis paralysis is always worse when you have a sea of options before you.
Hamdani noted that your brain is likely to work better under the pressure of a deadline.
When your brain is over-stimulated its tough to come to conclusions and figure out whats best for you.
Thats why Hamdani recommended reflecting in a peaceful place so you’re able to think more clearly.
It might also help to recognize there may not be a right answer, and thats OK.
If you cant step away to think, attempt to recenter yourself in the moment.
Once you figure out the underlying cause, you should have a much easier time navigating your day.
