Taoism isin't too far. I once read the Tao of Pooh and thought the ideas were great. I think my conflict is that information allows things to change. Decisions can be made given a better understanding.
> Decisions can be made given a better understanding.
This might be the root of the problem. You have to accept that most of the time you need to make decisions with your _current_ understanding.
There are some situations where you will need to seek information in order to make a better decision. (Trust yourself, you will know the difference instinctively.)
In those cases gather only the information you need to do a good enough job.
Decide what is important to you and ignore the rest.
Also focus on people and friendhsips, sports even. The human mind isn't meant to work without involving the body at the same time.
(I dare you to check your iphone or think about your reading list while trying to surf a wave for example :-) )
I'll check out the Tao Te Ching book. Thanks.
