You’re going away for the weekend and want to bring a book. You have two on your nightstand you’ve been meaning to read. You bring both, just in case. You want to have options.
Each time you go to read you can’t decide which one to choose. So you end up scrolling on your phone instead. The entire weekend passes and you don’t read a thing.
If you’d just picked one to bring you wouldn’t have had to decide again what to read. The choice was already made and you could have spent your time diving in to a book you were interested in. The other options were off that table.
Having options might feel like a good thing, and it can be. But if having options keeps you from choosing then they aren’t really benefiting you at all.
