Tired of making decisions?

Updated on Oct 30, 2020 04:33 pm IST

<p>Should you make lunch or order takeout; snack or meal box; discount or quick delivery; have you checked out what's on offer on the other app? The multiple micro-decisions involved even in small tasks eat up time and energy, and offer little reward. Experts say we make thousands before we even start the workday, leaving less energy for the real decisions. The term was coined by social psychologist Roy F Baumeister in a 2005 study to explain how challenging it is to make good choices when having to continuously make smaller decisions. And with the pandemic, the going's got tougher. Here's how you deal with it.</p>

From a deadly gangster to an ace marathon runner, Rahul Jadhav’s sprint to freedom

Explained: How India-US BECA pact will help in LAC faceoff with China

<p>The stage is set for the signing of the Basic Exchange and Cooperation Agreement for Geo-Spatial cooperation during the 2+2 meeting between India and US. BECA is considered the last of the foundational agreements to be signed by India and the US. This pact will help India get sensitive data from US military satellites and this comes at a time when China has been provoking India at the LAC in Ladakh. So how will the deepening of defence ties between India and US impact China's strategy at the LAC? Will it now mend its ways or continue to remain belligerent?

2+2 Meeting: India to get US military satellite data; will China heed warning?

Trump attacks India on ‘filthy air’: What do emission rankings reveal?

<p>US President Donald Trump, during the final Presidential Debate, targeted India over climate change calling the air in India 'filthy'. While there is no denying that air pollution in northern Indian is particularly bad in winters, but where President Trump faltered was on US's own track record when it comes to greenhouse gas emissions. America is second on the list after China and ahead of India in the list of countries that emit the most amount of carbon dioxide. However, in terms of per capital ranking, India ranks at #21 while America is at #4, which put simply means that 8 Indians emit as much carbon dioxide as 1 American.

Trump vs Biden: Decoding who won Debate 2 to swing undecided voters | US polls

<p>Over 5 crore people in the United States of America have already voted ahead of physical voting day on November 3. However, pollsters believe that there are still some people undecided ahead of the elections. The second and final Presidential debate was seen as incumbent Donald Trump's outreach to some of these people in order to strengthen his support base. Experts believe that he missed out on flaunting his economic track record which was only recently marred by the Covid-19 pandemic. The latter is believed to be his weakest point, and also the biggest target of criticism by challenger Joe Biden. So who won Debate 2? Former Indian ambassador to the US, Meera Shankar and Foreign Editor, Hindustan Times Pramit Palchaudhuri discuss the question with Hindustan Times' Aditi Prasad.</p>

Trump vs Biden, who’s better for India? The China, economy, climate factors

<p>The second and final debate between US Presidential election candidates Donald Trump and Joe Biden saw better articulation of their views and policy visions, but one area which didn't see much discussion was foreign policy. India was mentioned just once by Trump, when he called the country's air 'filthy' while commenting on climate change commitments. So which would be better for India - a continuation of the Trump administration in the White House, or the victory of challenger Biden? One big factor in the equation would be the next US government's attitude towards China. While Trump has been increasingly confrontational with Beijing, experts feel that Biden may adopt a less aggressive strategy. Former Indian ambassador to the US, Meera Shankar and Foreign Editor, Hindustan Times Pramit Palchaudhuri discuss the question with Hindustan Times' Aditi Prasad.</p>
