Decision overhead
Sunday lunch.
Sometimes I dont have time to make lunch so I eat cold beans. Sometimes I have more time and I make something more elaborate. But when it comes to doing something and I need to make a decision, I choose less, not more.
'... anything that constrains choice is a benifit. ...' [ITConversations, Barry Shwartz, Less is More, 53Min, 25Mb.]
So which tastes better? Am I happy eating beans over the plate above? The cold beans or the elaboratly created plate of different foods? Well both, but the decision overhead for the beans is nothing!
