THE POWER OF LESS

Get fewer options to get more done! Too many options can be confusing, overwhelming, and even paralysing.

The options can be endless from what to drink, eat, wear to which project to prioritise. With so many options, you might regret your choice or feel less satisfied with your decision.

But what if you could simplify your options and focus on what matters?

Here are some actionable tips to simplify your options:

1- Define Your Priorities: Understand what's most important to you. This could be cost, quality, time, convenience, etc.

2- Limit Your Choices by The Rule of Three: Try to narrow down your options to three. This is manageable and prevents overwhelming you with too many choices.

3- Identify Must-Have vs. Nice-to-Have: Divide your criteria into essentials and desirables. Focus on options that meet all your must-have requirements.

4- Gather Information: Read reviews and testimonials, ask for recommendations to get a sense of the pros and cons of each option.

5- Set Decision Deadlines: Set a specific time limit for making your decision. This prevents you from overthinking and helps you move forward.

6- Trust Your Gut Feeling: Sometimes your intuition can guide you when the logical analysis leaves you with equally good options.
