As choices increase, the chances of making the wrong choice also increase. It’s the classic “grass might be greener on the other side” dilemma and it leads to indecisiveness. There’s a difference between “researching the proper decision” and “being indecisive”. The former leads you to a decision. The latter is a stalling tactic.
