Making Superior Decisions
-
Set a deadline and stick to it. Is spending another week in turmoil really going to help you make up your mind?
-
Make a list of pros and cons to clarify your choices. Draw a line down the middle of your page and put the pros on one side and cons on the other for each option.
-
Avoid allowing fear to paralyze you. A fear of change can prevent you from seriously considering any of your options and keep you from making any decision at all.
-
Which option is most supportive of your long-term goals?
-
Project into the future and imagine how you\'ll feel about your choice.
-
Realize that it doesn\'t matter (much). When you\'re faced with a couple of good choices, either choice may work out fine. Simply making the choice and following through consistently will yield great results.
