Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• There’s a tangled decision with too many moving parts to hold in my head all at once, and I feel pushed to just call it now and be done
• I’ve been ping-ponging between two options in my head for weeks
• I keep opening more tabs and adding more contenders thinking it’ll help me decide, and instead I’m juggling twenty things I can’t hold in my head at once and I’ve made the whole thing impossible.
• I agonize for days over tiny choices I could undo in a second, then rush the big ones I can’t take back
• A call I could make in a day drags out for weeks because we keep circling it waiting for everyone to fully agree
