There is no limit to the number of projects we can start. \u00a0 There are few limits to the amount we can purchase. \u00a0No one wants to hear about the limits we put on ourselves or others put on us. \u00a0It&#8217;s against our nature to accept limits at times. \u00a0 However, setting limits can make life more organized and productive.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Why limit ourselves?<\/h3>\n<p>Is it possible that we need a relief from all the options? \u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.scientificamerican.com\/article\/tough-choices-how-making\/\">Studies show <\/a>that when faced with an overwhelming number of options, we have an overwhelming amount of decisions. \u00a0Each day we make up to 35,000 decisions in a day, ranging from what to eat for breakfast to whether to continue a relationship to where to invest for marketing your business. \u00a0With all these decisions, we tire through the day with decision making. \u00a0Can we really make all the good decisions when faced with so many decisions?
