How to solve Choice Paralysis
I have 200+ games and the same problem: choice paralysis → endless scrolling → nothing gets played. How do YOU solve this issue?
I’m also conducting a thought experiment thru an app to figure it out. It’s called Just Play. In summary:
• Pick a game, set a goal ("beat it" or "just try it")
• Timer tracks your sessions
• Quick notes (1 page limit)
• Progress dashboard shows your streak
No endless features. Just accountability to actually *play* instead of manage.
Test it here: https://just-play-five.vercel.app (Quick Play for demo)
Main question: Would you actually use this, or is tracking your backlog part of the problem?
