When I was a teenager and was thinking far too much about how the world works, I tried to count how many decisions I made in a day. I tried to add up all the tiny things, like deciding to stand up and walk, or pick up the dirty clothes on the floor, or grab a snack, or go out into the world. anything.
Not the unconscious things, like the decision to keep breathing, but all the yes/no binary decisions that we all make every day.
I instantly found out that just thinking about this shit inevitably led to paralyzed inertia, and I didn't even get out of bed. Best just to go with the flow, really.
