It was a lazy Saturday noon when I went shopping with my friend in search of the perfect jacket. As we entered the store, racks of jackets greeted us, each showcasing a different style, colour and design. I was excited about the prospect of finding a stylish and functional jacket, but as I started browsing through the options, I quickly realised how overwhelming the choices were. My mind was flooded with questions: Should I go for a classic black jacket or experiment with a vibrant colour? Should I prioritise warmth or fashion? It seemed like every jacket had its own unique appeal and I couldn’t make up my mind. It was how I had felt when choosing my current job among two other offers. It felt nerve racking to say the least.
I realised how decision-making can be a complex task, especially when faced with an abundance of choices. This made me appreciate the psychology behind our preferences and the biases that influence our decisions. Eventually, with the help of my friend’s advice and some self-reflection, I was able to narrow down my options and find a jacket that truly resonated with my style and needs. It was a valuable lesson in understanding my own biases and navigating the vast array of choices that life presents us with.
