Too Many Choices

Having choices can be a good thing, but is having too many choices a bad thing?

I seem to be operating in a different mode these days and its not always good.  Take  clothing, for instance.  Now that I don't work every day, what I wear consists of too many choices.  Here's how that's taking a toll.  

When I worked, my go to each day was jeans and a polo shirt.  Doing laundry was easy, all the jeans and polos went in one load as they were all dark colored.  Nothing needed extra care. Now, I can choose a top, pants, capris, and some of them are light colored.  Now there's more laundry. So is this a matter of too many choices?

It's the same with meals.  When I worked, I cooked for the week, packed a lunch each morning; dealing with food was quick and easy. Now that I'm home, if I crave meatloaf, I can make one, mess be darned.  Now I'm running the dishwasher every 4-5 days instead of every Saturday.  A matter of too many choices again?

What other areas of life offer too many choices? and could that cause some of the other issues people have with managing time and resources?  I can see where it might.  

For me, it does.  It's much easier to maintain a busy lifestyle with fewer choices than having too many choices.  If I don't have to make a choice at every turn, I have time and ability for other, perhaps more meaningful choices. 

Making life easier by limiting choices. That's how I see it. And I'm going to try!

But will I succeed?
