That said, I've read that people are supposed to be happier when there are fewer choices. Personally I've never understood that. Perhaps having to constantly pick and choose is stressful for some people, but I enjoy it.

It isn't so much that I'm not choosing, but that I'm choosing ahead of time whenever I place a completed series on my kindle. I'm simply removing the "what next" choice. With about 20 series running, I simply cycle through. Once I'm done a series, then I load up another one from calibre and it goes into the rotation cycle.
It certainly isn't a method I'd recommend to most people, but it has improved my reading satisfaction at least 50% since I started doing it this way back in '16 or so.
