Progress is usually made not by any one single decision but by taking many, many smaller decisions and executing on them. Very rarely will you encounter choices that are both strategic and irreversible. They happen few times a year, if you live an adventurous life that is.
With the smaller everyday decisions, you don’t need to hit 100% optimization. What you need is throughput, even only if you get 80% right.
For example, prioritizing is usually a waste of time. Just get something done. Then get another thing done. Reflecting on past decisions is ok, once. Then you move on.
Just optimize for get up and doing. What you do is less important; I’d argue things will sort themselves out anyway as you do, uncover things you do not see or understand and iterate.
