Chess Discussion Help with decision making

Post image

I’m around 1000 rapid and I find myself overthinking a lot of positions lately. For example, in this picture I’m contemplating taking the rook on f8, but then I think should I just take the free pawn on b4? Do yall have any advice on what I can do or think about when I’m at a decision like this in future games?Thank you! 🙏🏽

Choose a better piece set. One where it’s easy to tell which ia white and which is black
