Katie Lowes和Guillermo Diaz探讨了慢性优柔寡断的成因、后果以及应对方法。他们指出，优柔寡断会导致缺乏自主性、受制于恐惧，并浪费大量时间。其根本原因在于对失败的恐惧、完美主义、选择过载以及缺乏自信。他们认为，克服优柔寡断的关键在于：1. 接受不完美，运用80/20法则，专注于重要的事情，而不是追求完美；2. 区分大小决策，减少决策疲劳；3. 选择性地寻求建议，信任自己的直觉；4. 善待自己，不要让决策承担过多的压力。 Katie Lowes和Guillermo Diaz还分享了一些具体的应对策略，例如：1. 允许自己去设想最坏的结果，从而降低恐惧感；2. 将精力集中在重要的事情上，而不是纠结于琐事；3. 相信自己有能力做出好的选择，即使犯错也并非世界末日；4. 记住大多数决定都是可以改变的，不要让后悔的情绪困扰自己。他们鼓励听众要善待自己，相信自己能够克服优柔寡断，过上更加自主和充实的生活。

  • Perfection and indecision 
  • Choice overload 
  • A fear of failure 
  • How to overcome your indecisiveness using the 80/20 rule
