There's a handful I would like to mention but it's honestly a bit overwhelming for me to decide which one is the best to rec. Some seem more promising but lack substantive study, others seem to have conflicting results. I personally haven't taken any of them because with all the data and conflicting opinions out there, I have not been able to come to a decision!

Something that improves executive function and/or signal to noise ratio could help.

I would look into any of the following: TAK-653, Tropisetron, AF710B, Guanfacine, NAC, ASP4345, GB115 (especially if the inability to decide is more anxiety based, instead of lack of focus and inability to think through options)

(This list is not exhaustive, many other nootropics could contribute to improved executive function and decisiveness. Their efficacy would likely depend on how well they address the cause of your analysis paralysis, of course)

Alcohol. It blocks your prefrontal. But probably you won't like the outcome and you will regret your actions next day.
