Simple Solution to Indecisiveness

Some people predisposed to probe for options than choose one. In personality typology this is known as perceivers. Their four letter words ends with P. Their opposites are personality types whose four letters ends with J. J stands for judging or scheduling. In any case, people with judging predispositions are inclined or prefer to make choices and move on rather than probe for options, and possibly suffer from paralysis of analysis, but people with J preference are more so in danger of haste decisions than people with perceiving preference.

One solution to the challenges faced by people with perceiving preference is to set up time and say I will do this task in this period, the period has to be reasonable, or I will lose this amount of money, say twenty dollars to a task that takes less than 30 minutes, and actually lose it by giving it to someone.

Make this your modus operandi to resolve the challenge of perception.

We can imagine the same solution with people of J preference, in their case the challenge to be solved is judgment not perception. So, they ought to say, I have to come up with more options, even if I borrow from others, to choose from in this time frame or I ought to lose this amount of valuable stuff. This gives structural solution to a recurring problem.
