Is there a name for this behavioral phenomenon?
I'm working on a project and i'm at a step where there are several options for accomplishing the task, any of them working will do. And because I really don't care which of them I use, I try to find which of them will take the least effort/time to get working. But i've found myself trapped in a cycle: Every time I dig a little deeper into one solution, I find something that looks like it'd be unpleasant to deal with and I switch over to inspecting a different solution (e.g. browsing through a different library.) I've looped a few times now between three reasonable routes, getting a little deeper in each one each time. Does anyone else ever get caught in this kind of cycle?
analysis paralysis like the other user said, or choice overload, choice paralysis, obsessive compulsive disorder
