If you’re an un-decider, even the simplest decisions can make your pulse race.
Go for good enough
Since perfectionism and indecision often go hand in hand, you should be moving from a mind-set that “only the best will do” to “good enough is good enough”. It helps to reflect on your original goal. Did you begin the exhausting online shopping to find a toaster that could clean itself, roast carrots and also charge your cellphone? Or were you just looking for something that would brown your bread?
Outsource ( 外包) decisions
Research has shown that choices weaken the willpower and lead to decision fatigue (疲劳). That’s why indecisive people are advised to pick their “battles”.
The 90 percent Rule
When a yes-or-no decision has many pros and cons, try the “90 percent rule”. This involves evaluating an opportunity on a scale from 0 to 100. If your interest falls anywhere below 90 percent, reduce its score to zero and reject it.

Timeless Ways to Live a Happy Life
Achieving happiness can be different for each one of us. The following ways to live a happy life can be adapted to fit your needs.
1. Judge whales right.
Some of us see the glass as being half-full, while others see the glass as half-empty. If you get in the slow line at the grocery store, take the opportunity to pick up a magazine and do some “guilty pleasure” reading.
2. Be grateful.
How many times do you say “thank you,” in a day? How many times do you hear these same words? If you are doing the first thing, saying the “thank you,” the latter will naturally happen.
3. Remember the kid you were.
4. Be Kind.
