Decision Paralysis — or as some call it, Analysis Paralysis — is the experience of getting stuck on some kind of decision. It could be a big decision, or something very minor, but even the tiniest option can get us spinning our tires for hours or even days! If you struggle to make any kind of decisions, even sometimes, this episode is for you. I’ll open up by sharing some of my own experiences with indecision, and then I’ll share a few different illustration-specific situations where most of us might get stuck the most. I’ll share ways that I navigate these and keep moving, and of course, offer some ways you can use these in your own life.


IN THIS EPISODE

  • What is decision paralysis, and how can it get us stuck?
  • Why having keeping options to a minimum is necessary for the decision-impaired
  • How to give yourself “outside” feedback
  • What to do when you can’t stop making new iterations of an illustration
  • Why finding your reason for doing anything is the key to doing it at all
  • and more!
