A good quote from the work “The unbearable lightness of being”:
“We can never know what we should want, because we live a single life and can neither compare it with our previous lives, nor correct it in the lives that follow.”
As I understand it, there is no right or wrong choice, in many cases any choice has pros and cons (if the choice does not have pros, you need to find them, for example, you are sick and can't go for a walk – watch movies from your list or read a book that you didn't read because there was no time). It all depends on how much effort you put in to get the most out of any situation. So feel free to make a choice, if something goes wrong, in 90% of cases you can benefit from it or fix it. Even if everything turned out to be a complete failure, it will be a valuable experience that will teach you a lot, and next time everything will be great. This can save you from making more serious mistakes.
Choose a decision-making technique for yourself. You can choose a simple one, or a little more complicated one. I agree, flipping a coin is also a technique. It is believed that it is better to make the wrong decision than not to make any.

There is a very useful method – the Descartes square. To make/review a decision, you need to answer 4 questions::
�3. What won't happen if this happens? (Disadvantages of getting what you want).
With the Descartes square, we view the same situation from 4 different angles. This helps you make a balanced and informed choice.
I'll do my bit.
This method was used by Japanese samurai, so it can be said to be time-tested.
This is the so-called 7-second rule.
You need to take a deep and smooth inhale and exhale (you can do it several times, this is to calm your nerves) and make a decision within seven seconds.
The fact is that breathing is strongly connected with the central nervous system and therefore, by controlling the breath, we control our psyche. This is a kind of bridge between consciousness and subconsciousness.
If the solution did not come( even after several times), then either the situation is not ripe enough to solve it, or you are.
Flip a coin. No, seriously. This is only at first glance frivolous.
I often suggest this method to my friends. And a person is very surprised when, after tossing a coin and getting, for example, tails, his first thought is “damn it, why not heads”. Then everything immediately falls into place. It turns out that deep down, many decisions have already been made.
This is how a person works – the smaller the choice, the easier and more comfortable it is :-)))
Artificially minimize the possibilities of your choice by introducing restrictions. It will become much easier :-)))
