Every day, from the moment we wake up until we go to sleep, our actions are based on choices. Our days are shaped by the decisions we make. Even knowing this, we often struggle to make the best choices for ourselves. Why can’t we make better decisions?
The simple answer is that we are human, not robots. We can’t always analyze every choice logically to determine if it’s right or wrong. Being too picky about our choices can also take up a lot of time and energy. This means we either have to do fewer things or find more time in our day. Sadly, finding more time isn’t possible.
So, the best way to escape this choice paradox is to reduce the number of options we face daily. This saves time and energy for more important tasks.
In short, the best way to deal with the paradox of choice is to embrace minimalism. It’s better to live simply than to be overwhelmed by the countless choices we encounter every day.
