What does it mean that time pressure as a decision tool?

Setting deadlines for decisions prevents analysis paralysis.

Example: You've been evaluating project management tools for three weeks. You've read forty comparison articles, watched demo videos, built spreadsheets of feature matrices. You still haven't chosen. Set a deadline: you will decide by 5pm Friday. Suddenly the irrelevant features drop away, the two real contenders emerge, and you pick one. The three weeks of analysis didn't produce the decision. The deadline did.

Try this: Identify one decision you've been delaying for more than a week. Set a timer for 25 minutes. Write down the two or three realistic options, the single most important criterion for each, and your choice. When the timer rings, commit. Notice what happened: the time constraint didn't prevent you from thinking clearly — it prevented you from thinking in circles.
