This doesn't really belong in this community. There's nothing lunatic about it.

I worked in mid-level management for some time, and among the most important skills was the ability to recognize what is good enough.

If you have seven courses of action available, of which 3 are good, don't spend time choosing the optimal one. If it is obvious right away, then good, go for that. But otherwise just make a decision. I often literally tossed a coin. I've got thousand things going on in my thoughts at once, and it makes no sense to disrupt them by trying to make something maybe 2% more optimal.

Just make a random pick and then deal with what comes. It's really a good way to do stuff, regardless of whether you're "successful" or not.
