justanoldgamer: I'm looking for help/tips/advices on decision making because it's something I find very hard to do. I've probably spent more time in my life trying to decide what to read than reading, trying to decide what to play than playing, trying to decide what to watch than watching, trying to decide what to listen to than listening, trying to decide what to learn than learning, trying to decide what to do than doing, etc...
It could be an act of rebelling against mortality: "I don't have time to do everything I wanna do, so I'm gonna do nuuuuuuuthing!!!!"
It could also be a conflict of generalism versus specialism. If you're similar to me, you have many general interests, but you also want to specialize in all of them to experience a sense of accomplishment, but this is impossible.
What draws a lot of us into the computer world is that a computer is a powerful tool to do many things.
What makes choice difficult for us is being too concerned with the lost opportunities that would result from any decision we make.
For myself, I realise it's better to do something rather than nothing, and that I need to focus more on that which yields immediate benefits to me.
But one also needs a bit of fun so even if you spend some time learning something you're probably never going to put to practical use... if you enjoy learning it... why not? And it keeps the mind active... and the older we get, the more important this becomes.
