The Way We Work is a TED original video series where leaders and thinkers offer practical wisdom and insight into how we can adapt and thrive amid changing workplace conventions. (Made possible with the support of Dropbox)

Isn’t this basically choice paralysis… when you go to a restaurant they give you suggestions via fancy pictures.
リスニング苦手だから見にきて見た笑笑
I like this style
Wow, I hadn’t thought seriously about this, although I have been sarcastic about how so many decisions of basically the same thing are available. But I was raised when options were one of three. Now, I’ve reached an age where I rarely care. Good points in presentation.
“How to make faster decisions” just say yes to everything, then say no later.
“no matter what you pick, the consequences are basically non-existant” yet what the majority picks will affect you greatly. Always consider where and how your food / clothes are made. Always consider how services you use respect people’s freedom and privacy. Overcoming fear of better options by ignoring them doesn’t sound right.
My decision is now faster than my brain thought
So evaluate, pick one, move on. Earth-shattering.
now ted is spamming 10 5min videos per day? thats time to say good bye i guess
