188. Why are we so indecisive?

The Psychology of your 20s

Apr 19 2024 • 39 mins

Our inability to make decisions is wasting our time, keeping us acting from a place of fear and stuck in a life we don't want! It's also not entirely our fault and often stems from unconscious mechanisms, neuroticism and fears that we haven't recognised. In today's episode we break down:

  • Why you struggle to make decisions
  • The consequences of our chronic indecisiveness
  • Perfection and indecision
  • Choice overload
  • A fear of failure
  • How to overcome your indecisiveness using the 80/20 rule
  • The 'trusted advisor' method
