However, having too many options can be just as bad as not having enough of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s how having too many options causes paralysis of choice and impairs decision-making. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-problem-with-having-too-many-options\">The Problem With Having Too Many Options<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Rolf Dobelli, the author of <em>The Art of Thinking Clearly<\/em>, there are three key reasons why having too many options impairs decision-making:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1. Having too many options paralyzes you.<\/strong> A wide range of options makes you so afraid of choosing the wrong one that you avoid any decision, Dobelli says. (Shortform note: <a href=\"https:\/\/psychminds.com\/is-there-such-a-thing-as-too-much-choice\/\">Some people tie this paralysis to loss aversion<\/a>. The more options available, the more options you <em>lose <\/em>by choosing. You fear losing the other options more than you want to gain a single option by choosing, so you don\u2019t choose.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. Having too many options lowers your standards. <\/strong>Lower standards make your decision easier by lessening the analysis needed for each choice, Dobelli adds. For example, if you\u2019re overwhelmed by options for a new dishwasher, you won\u2019t look for an affordable, quiet model that\u2019s the right size with a good warranty. Instead, you\u2019ll pick whichever one is the right size, regardless of other features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: You make your choice easier by lowering your standards because you\u2019re suffering from <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/john-tierney-decision-fatigue\/\">decision fatigue<\/a><\/em>. <a href=\"https:\/\/cxl.com\/blog\/does-offering-more-choices-actually-tank-conversions\/#:~:text=It%E2%80%99s%20because%20they,crappy%20decision%20making.\">Analyzing your options drains your willpower<\/a>, leaving you without any willpower to make the final decision. Therefore, to make a decision, you dismiss your standards, focusing your remaining willpower on a single feature.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. Having too many options inspires uncertainty.<\/strong> After making your decision, you\u2019ll be unhappy because you\u2019ll never be sure it was the right choice, Dobelli says. With so many other options available, how do you know a different dishwasher wasn\u2019t the better choice after all?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: This uncertainty stems from <a href=\"https:\/\/cxl.com\/blog\/does-offering-more-choices-actually-tank-conversions\/#:~:text=Generally%2C%20the%20more%20choices%20you%20have%2C%20the%20worse%20you%20feel%20after%20you%20buy.%20Why%3F%20Because%20your%20standards%20have%20been%20raised%2C%20and%20now%20all%20you%20can%20think%20about%20is%20how%20much%20better%20the%20other%20options%20may%20have%20been.\">buyer\u2019s remorse<\/a>. You narrow your choice criteria, as discussed above, but you don\u2019t forget about all the other options and features you\u2019re sacrificing. You <em>ignore<\/em> those options to make your choice easier, but once you\u2019ve made your decision, the knowledge of what you ignored returns, inspiring remorse and uncertainty.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How can you avoid being overwhelmed by too many options? Dobelli suggests <strong>writing down the qualities that are important to you before evaluating your options. <\/strong>This stops you from becoming overwhelmed because it lets you immediately dismiss options that don\u2019t fit your criteria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: When writing down the qualities you want, be realistic about what you can actually gain. For example, if you can\u2019t afford the dishwasher that meets all your criteria, then you can\u2019t gain that dishwasher and need to broaden your scope. This mindset also applies when you\u2019re making life-changing decisions. While \u201cYou can do anything\u201d is a nice sentiment, it\u2019s not actually true: <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/the-defining-decade\/finding-work#:~:text=Look%20Realistically%20at%20Your%20Options,goals%3A%20the%20building%20blocks%20of%20future\">What you can do is based on your past experience and skills.<\/a> Thus, objectively evaluate your experience, skills, and options to focus on the options you can actually achieve. Doing so will ease decision anxiety and make you happier.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have you ever struggled to make a decision because there were too many options to choose from?
