I notice this all the time and its very frustrating to me. People fret a great deal over choices where there's many good options. Life is much better if you can recognize these situations and just pick one at random.
I don't think the pick needs to be deliberately random (forsaking any responsibility for the outcome).
You could try to pick the best option quickly based on immediately available/easily discernible information with the acknowledgement that you could be wrong, but it likely won't matter if you are.
While most of the examples in the article fall under "don't waste time on decisions that don't matter", one of them certainly does not: which university to attend. That is where you will live and work for the next 4-5 years. Given two equal status choices I would put a lot of research into the decision. Mainly to try to uncover anything I would strongly dislike - and have to live with - about either choice.
