You're lying in bed at 3 AM, scrolling through the same decision you've been making for six months.

The job offer. The relationship. The move. The business idea. Whatever it is, you've analyzed it from every angle, made pro-con lists, asked everyone you know, and you're still exactly where you started.

Paralyzed.

You've been trying to make better decisions your entire life.

You've read the productivity books. You've tried the morning routines. You've downloaded the apps that block other apps. You've made lists and frameworks and systems.

And you're still paralyzed.

Still scrolling LinkedIn at 2 AM wondering if you should take that job. Still in that relationship that ended emotionally three years ago. Still "thinking about" starting that business, writing that book, having that conversation.

Here's why nothing works: You're trying to optimize decisions for a life you've convinced yourself is infinite.

That's not a mindset problem. It's a math problem.

When you have unlimited time, every decision carries infinite weight. Every choice could be wrong forever. Every path you don't take could have been the one. So you take no path at all. You stand at the crossroads, analyzing, optimizing, waiting for clarity that will never come.

But people who know exactly when they're going to die? They don't have decision problems.
