Why does it occur?
You know that feeling when you're trying to decide which socks to wear, but you end up spending 4 hours reading reviews of socks? That's not just a minor delay, my friend. That's full-blown paralysis by analysis.
It's a phenomenon that's been studied extensively by leading experts in the fields of Sockology, Time Management, and Procrastination.
According to Dr. Reginald P. Bottomsworth, a renowned Sockologist, "Paralysis by analysis is a condition where the individual becomes so overwhelmed by the sheer amount of information available that they fail to take action." He continues, "It's like being stuck in an infinite loop of decision paralysis, where the only thing you can be certain of is that you'll never make a decision."
But don't just take Dr. Bottomsworth's word for it! Visit our Theories of Paralysis page for a comprehensive breakdown of the condition.
