Intro...

Life is too busy and there's too much things to do, to get done, to read up on, to look up.  So here's where I'll enter things that I've filtered in my life which was not a waste of my time or braincells.

So I've come to the conclusion as Im sure much of you:

• There are too many alternatives and choices for everything.

It doesnt matter in what context you view that statement.  Whether it's shopping, or doing laundry, or picking an app or a route, there's too many options.  This is not the same as saying there's a lot, there's plenty, there's a wide variety... etc.   No, there's just too many.  There's more than needed or desired.

There's two ways to approach this.  One is to simply pick the easiest, closest, quickest choice and be content.  This is the way I wish I did things because there's truth to the statement that "ignorance is bliss".  Life is easier, straightforward, you may or may not pick the cheapest/best way to do something but you will never know, you will save time in the short run because you dont waste time researching upfront and making comprehensive comparisons.

The other way is far more irritating, but it's for those of us that keeps our mental muscles finely tuned. It's to find every possible option, weigh the pro's and con's and do a moderate amount of comparison before a sticking with a decision and then possibly revisiting this decision every few months or years.
 
I assure you, countless hours are wasted with the latter method.  Minutes turns into hours, quite often one can go off in tangents and overall it can feel like one is trying to absorb the internet.

To hell with it all.  To add to the general pool of millions of blogs, review sites, forums and such, here's my one single simple take.  There may be better options.  There most definitely will be worse options. Often, we must all settle for "good enough".  We dont have all damn day to deal with each and every thing.
