What if “good enough” was actually the best possible outcome? As we wrap up our Decisions Series, we explore “satisficing decisions”—low-stakes choices that feel important but don’t really change the course of our lives. Things like picking a vacation spot or trying a new hairstyle may feel daunting, but in reality, they have minimal long-term impact. We dive into why these decisions feel more serious than they are and share practical strategies to help you make a choice with confidence, preserve your mental energy, and focus on the decisions that truly matter.
