## Resource

More choices aren’t always better—scientists reveal that overload leads to anxiety and paralysis, making us less satisfied with our picks. From jam flavors to Medicare plans, too many options stall decisions. Our brains crave efficiency, so we default to familiar choices or get stuck chasing perfection. Enter “satisficing”: settling for good enough, setting clear goals, and delegating decisions to free up mental energy and time. The smarter move? Limit your options, trust others, and reclaim your peace. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
