Always interesting topic, it is :)
I would add that the making of a choice also depends on a fundamental decision or attitude to life. Such a fundamental decision helps, for example, to ignore numerous possibilities from the outset or to simplify the selection process. For example, to go to work every day by bicycle instead of by car. Or not driving at all. The fewer things you have to take care of, the fewer decisions have to be made. It is also said that ownership is an obligation. When I have a lot of responsibility and deal with a lot of people, I am forced to be involved in a lot more decision-making processes.
I think it is good that you have addressed the infinite possibilities and that basically every decision holds these possibilities. In fact, it is easy for some to make a quick decision and for others not. Certain tendencies can be seen in people who are unsure whether they are making the right choice and sometimes wait "too long" (this is of course a subjective assessment). Others are hot-headed and make decisions too quickly. Depending on whether it has good or bad consequences for the system, the retrospective is always the one that reveals how to evaluate a decision.
At the same time, it is an art not to brood over decisions that have already been made for too long or to keep postponing future decisions on the bench. The many small decisions per day are certainly the automatism that reflects normality as a habit.
Here, I have attached to you my article on the subject:

Great article of yours! It reminds me about the game theory :)
Once more I find it hard to debate further as I agree with you too much...
I always have this feeling we are only skimming the surface, no matter how much we talk about things. Oh well.
Have a great day Erika! :]
