I can related sorta to what you are going through. Actually, I think I might. I am wishy washy as well. However, my indecisiveness stems from fear. Like you, I question myself because I am scared. But I'm trying to change my thinking to this: Life is too short. We are not young anymore. I will not let the decisions in my life be guided by fear. Balls to the wall. Hi Mish.

But I also wanted to add that although no one has died from a magnetic board purchase, no one's life has been dramatically changed for the better either. So there is the chance you are expecting too much from your decisions and thus stall. An iPhone will not change your life. The blackberry is just a phone with a qwerty keypad. Neither of them says anything about you as a person. This is not a marriage, you will want something different in 2 years so get the one with the better monthly bill which is really what will affect you. Actually, you can probably base your decision on Matt or the other guy along these lines as well. ;) Sorry, long comment.

This of course stems from a simple fear that the outcome will fall short of the buildup you have created, so then you just keep building it up and then keep not doing anything and creating this vortex of fail which does nothing but make you be unnecessarily hard on yourself. I don't have any other advice than to say snap out of it (because I'm quite prone to this myself). When you know you want to make a decision, give yourself a firm time limit of how much you will think about the options and then make a decision at the deadline. And don't look back! Be bold! No one has ever died because of their choice of magnetic board!

Todd: Wow, you know me pretty well. thatShortChick: I do have deadlines to make certain decisions. So that's good. Vanessa: I'm a Scorpio. That's funny though. I did wonder if this trait was somehow zodiac-related. Or related to the fact that I'm an INFP. HBee: You should do one too! Laurie: "Your weaknesses are just the excess of your strengths." I LOVE LOVE LOVE that. Jamie: Aw. Yay. Randall, m@ and Di: I'm waiting until Christmas to decide. :) Revanche: That’s an awesome idea.

It's the waiting that's killer. Maybe if I get you a vacuum cleaner for Christmas it will help you decide. Yeah, did you decide between me and the other guy? It’s the waiting that’s killer.

You know what gets me to make a decision on a car, redoing office, buying furniture? A breakup. I'm not suggesting that at all, but that certainly whipped my butt in gear (remember new job after vacuum boy)? You need to be more compulsive like me. Start with shopping. We rarely regret getting what we like. Just do it. BTW, did you hear about all the Republic layoffs? Google the story. No one we know, or at least I know. I checked in - and that's prob why KE left, they announced a 10% cut in October so other people could start looking for jobs. Craaaazy. LOL at Randall’s comment.
