How do you make decisions?

I am in the fortunate position of been offered two jobs that I would like to do equally. How do I make a decision?
I end up overthinking it and getting stressed.
Do you go with your gut? Do you go with pros and cons!
I have problems making decisions about little and they become big things then I can't sleep at night
I can't even make a decision where to go on holiday and spend hours looking, when we will probably enjoy all the ones I have looked at. It's taking over my life!
I am always worried about making the wrong decision.
I want to be one of those people who make a decision and does not analyse each little detail.

I have tried talking decisions through with family and friends and feel confident I have made the right decision but then hours later start thinking what if.
Please tell me what strategy you use to make decisions easily!

Flip a coin and see how you feel about the result.

Congratulations! If you can't decide, then there's not much to choose between them and either one is good.

John Paul Satre favoured the coin toss!

I have ADHD so make random decisions and hardly ever regret them. Sometimes there is no right answer.

I write a pros and cons usually then talk it through with DH, if they are roughly the same I go with my gut feeling, it isn't usually wrong!
