Make faster decisions to keep the ball rolling
from Don't Overthink It: Make Easier Decisions, Stop Second-Guessing, and Bring More Joy to Your Life by Anne Bogel
How to Apply This
-
Write down your your values
Find what values you hold dear to you. It could be something you live by or something someone once taught you. -
Tell yourself to make a decision as soon as possible.
If you are at peace with your decision then you’ll know it’s the right one - if not, choose another. The key thing is to fight your instinct to slow down and instead, make a decision quickly. You can also use your value system to guide your decisions, as it makes the process much easier! -
Do not procrastinate on making a decision.
If you are deciding if you should make a decision or not, even if it is an unpleasant one, just do it. -
Laugh at the wrong decisions you make and learn how to do better.
Laughter is medicine. If you made a wrong decision, analyse what went wrong and use that to make a more informative decision the next time. Being hard on yourself will not benefit you if you don’t learn from your mistakes.
