What is time pressure decision making?

Time pressure decision making is a concept in personal epistemology: Setting deadlines for decisions prevents analysis paralysis.

Example: You've been evaluating project management tools for three weeks. You've read forty comparison articles, watched demo videos, built spreadsheets of feature matrices. You still haven't chosen. Set a deadline: you will decide by 5pm Friday. Suddenly the irrelevant features drop away, the two real contenders emerge, and you pick one. The three weeks of analysis didn't produce the decision. The deadline did.

This concept is part of Phase 23 (Decision Frameworks) in the How to Think curriculum, which builds the epistemic infrastructure for decision frameworks.
