So when we are not catholic or me anyhow, making decisions seemed easier, now I find everything I do so difficult because I cant make a proper decision, its tough
 
“You cannot be too gentle, too kind. Shun even to appear harsh in your treatment of each other. Joy, radiant joy, streams from the face of him who gives and kindles joy in the heart of him who receives. All condemnation is from the devil. Never condemn each other…Instead of condemning others, strive to reach inner peace. Keep silent, refrain from judgment. This will raise you above the deadly arrows of slander, insult, and outrage and will shield your glowing hearts against all evil.”
Saint Seraphim of Sarov

Peace
 
Words and Prayers of St. Isaac the Syrian

Let yourself be persecuted, but do not persecute others.
Be crucified, but do not crucify others.
Be slandered, but do not slander others.
Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep: such is the sign of purity.
Suffer with the sick.
Be afflicted with sinners.
Exult with those who repent.
Be the friend of all, but in your spirit remain alone.
Be a partaker of the sufferings of all, but keep your body distant from all.
Rebuke no one, revile no one, not even those who live very wickedly.
Spread your cloak over those who fall into sin, each and every one, and shield them.
And if you cannot take the fault on yourself and accept punishment in their place,
do not destroy their character.

Praying to the Holy Spirit to give you guidance, direction, strength, fortitude & wisdom in your time of need.
 
In many cases (me for instance), it is not a lack of knowledge of right and wrong, but a lack of fortitude to do right. “The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

How can this be? When a big decision needs to be made I pray about it and at a certain time I just know what I must do. Try that.
 
In addition, try mind mapping them? The spiders are allowed to grow as many legs as they like!
