The average Brit makes 773,618 decisions in a lifetime but lives to regret as many as 143,262 of them, a study has found.
Deliberating for nine minutes on the average decision, that's four hours of decision-making time a day over the course of 27 decisions.
The study of 2,000 indecisive Brits, by Nintendo Puzzler Mind Gym 3D, found that while some decisions were made in seconds, others left us dithering - like the 39% of us who deliberate over making a cup of tea.
Two thirds admit to changing their mind throughout the day and seven in ten turn to other people before making their final call. In fact, 55% would prefer it if others made their decisions for them.
So, why do we find it so difficult to make our minds up? The fear of making a 'wrong' decision leaves many of us in limbo, often for long periods of time struggling to move forward towards what could be a better future.
If your indecisiveness makes you change your mind constantly throughout the day, find out how to become great at decision making with these expert tips from life coach, Sophia Davis.
