In my experience, trying hard to keep options open has often resulted in having multiple doors shut in my face because I stretched myself too thin.
I find myself eliminating extraneous options, people, and other taxes on my resources and energy more and more as time goes on. I purge the phonebook on my cell phone at least once a year, I do the same with my email address book. I also do it with my instant messengers, facebook, myspace, etc.
I tend to make decisions and stick to them these days. It's just simpler and a lot less stressful.
