no secret option C

[brainwane]

I came across a blog post that's now locked. But the gist of it was:

Sometimes you have to make a hard decision between A and B. And it can be tempting to procrastinate in the secret subconscious hope that a new option C will emerge that is magically easier. But that will almost certainly not happen. So accept that and choose.

Something I appreciated a reminder of.

My failure mode of this goes "because you are so clever, you will find a third way! Find... a third... way... BE VERY SMART NOW... why are you not finding the innovative solution... aaaaaaany day now!" And then I kick myself for not innovating my way out of stark choices every time.
