Paralysis of Choice
creative anti-pattern where an excess of options (e.g., too much coverage, unlimited temp music libraries, infinite plugin settings) leads to decision fatigue and a state of inaction. Instead of fostering creativity, the 'blank canvas' of infinite possibility can be paralyzing, preventing the editor from making committed, decisive choices. The solution is often to deliberately reduce the available options.
