I *literally* stood, dazed, in the aisle of the first grocery store we were in in Florida having just sailed back from 3 months in the tiny islands of the Bahamas. There were, I counted, 52 different sizes and types of mustard in that aisle. I could. not. cope.Dan N Jayehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17910909942198901223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4708230140827355204.post-89852624403368124072016-04-06T21:06:36.781+01:002016-04-06T21:06:36.781+01:00I agree, analysis paralysis is a real thing.

No early morning decisions, no wasting Saturdays shopping, and the cost of dressy business clothing added up!

Now, I have so few clothes and they're all kind of ratty so that it doesn't really matter what I put on. Decision making is far simpler now. I make a lot of big decisions on impulse, but can stand for hours in the grocery store reading labels on the back of boxes of crackers trying to decide which one to get.<br /><br />Cheers - EllenThe Cynical Sailorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11047491682363507834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4708230140827355204.post-6101911997272008822016-04-05T23:18:47.920+01:002016-04-05T23:18:47.920+01:00Micro-decisions and the background clutter of mode...Micro-decisions and the background clutter of modern day life are exhausting!
