Umm, I'll take the cash!

Not all choices are as easy as this one. At this Quisno's the mother/daughter in front of me in line took nearly 5 minutes to decide what they were going to eat.

For a few weeks about a year ago I exercised making decisions immediately when asked. E.g. instead of saying, "I don't care," "you choose," or "whatever," when asked about what's for dinner, which way to go, or what movie to watch - I would make the call.

Wrong or right, what I discovered was that how many decisions we make are trivial and yet pondered endlessly. Try it. I'm back to thinking about these trivial choices but now I know that if I had to pick a sandwich immediately, I could.
