Brain Clutter

Have you ever been faced with so many possibilities that you simply cannot make a choice?  I find myself in that position when in a large store or when looking at a large volume of interesting information.  For some reason, I need to pick the right item to buy, or the right tool to get the job done.  I spend so much time analyzing that I typically get overwhelmed and abort the mission.

Some of it may be related to that rule of the brain only being able to process a handful of items at a time.  Maybe it is all the different paths a choice like that could take that overwhelms my brain.  When faced with a large volume of information to analyze to solve a problem, this paralysis of the brain is not evident.

Of course, this simply could be a side effect of the talents God has given me.  We know that everyone isn't created equal and people's talents are widely varied.  Maybe what makes me good at solving problems, makes me horrible at being spontaneous and taking those leaps without analyzing every possibility.

Hmm... Maybe I just need to take my on advice of "Just Do It" and to heck with the consequences.
