How to be more decisive...
Do you know someone who suffers with analysis paralysis? \xa0Someone who always ask for more and more information, rather than make a clear decision? \xa0
Or, you might be that person.
We'd all prefer to avoid making difficult decisions.\xa0 This is because we fear making the wrong decision.\xa0 The very anticipation of making the wrong choice is a powerful deterrent. \xa0 The bigger the decision, the more the anxiety about taking action.\xa0
In real life situations, the only decisions we can hope to make are imperfect decisions.\xa0 An imperfect decision is better than none because once implemented, they can be monitored, evaluated and modified, whereas inaction simply generates more inaction.
If you keep putting off a decision, it will stay bubbling away at the back of your mind, using up mental resources and making other decisions that much more difficult.
