I find that this helps tremendously when I'm stuck in a decision. I open TextWrangler on my MacBook, and write about the various options, why I don't like them, and, if I'm really good, what the cost of not making a decision is, and what the simplest solution that could possibly work is.
I often get stuck when I want to combine the best aspects of various possible solutions, but can't. The writing lays it out there and helps me get over my perfectionism.
