Reggie Watts Quotes

When there's so much choice, it can get overwhelming and it's hard to make a choice.

Having unlimited choices can paralyze you creatively.

When people have too many choices, they make bad choices.

Unlimited choice is paralyzing. The Internet has made this form of paralysis due to option overload a standard feature of comfortable modern life.

There's nothing scarier than unlimited choices.

People of the future may suffer not from an absence of choice but from a paralysing surfeit of it. They may turn out to be victims of that peculiarly super-industrial dilemma: overchoice.

You can sit in front of a computer and have a blank slate and be completely overwhelmed by the possibilities and not get anywhere.

OPTION PARALYSIS: The tendency, when given unlimited choices, to make none.

People aren't able to make decisions anymore because there's too many choices within that decision.

Too many choices can overwhelm us and cause us to not choose at all. For businesses, this means that if they offer us too many choices, we may not buy anything.

Too much knowledge and analysis can be paralysis.

I wish I had coined the phrase 'tyranny of choice,' but someone beat me to it. The counterintuitive truth is that have an abundance of options does not make you feel privileged and indulged; too many options make you feel like all of them are wrong, and that you are wrong if you choose any of them.

The problem, simply put, is that we cannot choose everything simultaneously. So we live in danger of becoming paralyzed by indecision, terrified that every choice might be the wrong choice.

Having too many ideas is not always a good thing.

You've heard the saying, 'Analysis creates paralysis.' You can't be 100 percent sure of anything.

I'm plagued with indecision in my life. I can't figure out what to order in a restaurant.

I'm the type of guy where, if I see, like, 20 songs, I don't even wanna listen to one of 'em 'cause it's too much.

I'm not a big fan of options, to be honest. The more options that I have, the less time that I spend actually completing things... ultimately, I think, if you have endless choices, I mean, the tendency to just choose endlessly is there, and that doesn't do anything for anybody, really.

You need an infinite stretch of time ahead of you to start to think, infinite energy to make the smallest decision. The world is getting denser. The immense number of useless projects is bewildering. Too many things have to be put in to balance up an uncertain scale. You can't disappear anymore. You die in a state of total indecision.

If we actually thought about every decision we made, we'd be paralyzed ... You have to decide which decisions you're actually going to make, and then you have to let the rest of them go.

One of the biggest lessons I've learned recently is that when you don't know what to do, you should do nothing until you figure out what to do because a lot of times you feel like you are pressed against the wall, and you've got to make a decision. You never have to do anything. Don't know what to do? Do nothing.

...discussion is also a most excellent means to avoid -decision-

Everything was too sharp and clear, so that I could never tell where to start- the way a map that shows too much can sometimes be useless.

We are tyrannized by our options.

Decisions can be a major challenge for all of us.
