I do like your description of analysis paralysis.
That is another idiosyncrasy of mine ... I like things that flow or rhyme, like "snug as a bug in a rug" or "cotton headed ninny muggins".

Anyway, reading your post, I realized I also suffer from analysis paralysis.
Except that I am very indecisive about small purchases only.
I can buy a house or a car with little analysis because I rely totally on intuition.
However it takes me days to buy something small like a blender or towels.
Is idiosyncratic the root of the word idiot?
