Help me overcome my indecisiveness!

When I want to make a new character, I end up sitting at the creation screen and going through all the ATs and Powersets for about half an hour, and I'm never closer to actually creating. Concepts are the only thing that get me to push forward, but I want to be able to spontaneously create a character and test different combos.

Any tips on overcoming extreme indecisiveness and, to an extent, altaholism?

Set an evening aside every now and then as 'Experiment Night'.

Make up characters with the intent of deleting them after 2 hours or level 6 or some other early landmark like that. Pick a powerset, general costume theme and name and go. You're just going to run around Atlas or do a sewer run and thats it. Then delete them, no questions asked.

Face the fact before hand that you will earn no permanent XP on a character, or gain any 'worthwhile progress' like you do when you're levelling a serious character. Remind yourself that this doesn't matter - you cant spend XP down the shops in real life or anything. You will be gaining some experience in the common sense of the word though.

You may fall in love with one of these throwaway creations and decide to take them off death row. If so, thats perfectly OK, and mission accomplished!

I often am inspired by reading through the player guides, or from some neat little trick I hear(read) a toon can do here on the boards.

I also like to think about what I want to accomplish with a new toon. If I have say, an AOE specialist, perhaps I would try to build a ST specialist. I also roll toons if I dont understand what, or how powersets work together, but want to learn more. Take knockback for instance. I hate it, most of my toons cant stand it. Then I rolled a Bots/Storm... wow.
