If you keep putting off a decision, you're already making one, and it's probably the wrong one.
In this Inside Out episode, I unpack the Paradox of Choice. Why indecision keeps us stuck, how perfectionism disguises itself as "thinking it through," and a simple way to force clarity, fast.
Ironically, I recorded this episode months ago… and then delayed publishing it. I told myself I needed to "re-launch properly" or wait until I was consistently recording again. Classic decision paralysis.
After all that hesitation, it took less than 10 minutes to finally upload it, proving the point of the episode itself.
If you've been over-planning, waiting for the "perfect time," or telling yourself you'll start soon, this one's for you. Let's stop trying to make the perfect choice and start making any choice that moves us forward.
What's inside:
Why overthinking is disguised fear
The hidden cost of indecision
How successful people decide fast
A journaling prompt to cut through paralysis
If you've been sitting on something — an idea, a decision, a launch — take this as your sign. Do it. Publish it. Send it. Move. Tag me @mattjhanham when you do.
