On Sunday, I spent seven hours looking at three different types of pink tile, and I never

made the purchase.

In the end, I bought some pajamas and went to bed.

I find every decision weighted by a new question about risk.

Is it worth the risk to someone else to order this thing that I maybe don't urgently need

A night's when we decide to order a takeout.

I feel like we spend hours just scrolling through seamless and can't decide what we want,

and it's just almost like paralyzing the indecision.

What movie should I watch tonight?

Should I take my kids to the park?

Where should I order takeout from?

These are some of the small mundane decisions many of us used to make easily before the

pandemic.

But now, with so much uncertainty about the coronavirus and what the future will hold,

even these seemingly insignificant decisions can feel time consuming, even overwhelming.

But why?

Why is it happening to so many of us right now and what can we do to cope with it?

To find the answers, we may have to travel to one of my favorite places, the human brain.
