Just knowing more things doesn’t make you a success in life.

If knowing everything about the world was enough to become successful in life then teachers and librarians would have become millionaires themselves.

1. Troubled by Choices

In prehistoric times we didn’t have a lot of choice, we had to hunt and gather food. Limited choices meant that we were more focused on the task at hand and were willing to stick to it with no plan B.

In the age of Technology we are down with a lot of choices like for example, a product catalogue in Amazon, which movie to watch on Netflix, which items to buy from grocery online, etc.

We often find it hard to just pick one and proceed. With all the Ads, pop-ups and notifications wanting our attention most will get trapped in zombie scrolling trying to find other things but not the things they need.

The only easy thing I find is to just search for the product using a price comparison website, compare prices and just go & buy the product from the link. All the reading reviews, watching videos & pics by people who have purchased it previously, etc — these things are massive time-wasters.
