When you find yourself in a situation where you don’t know what is the best decision to make, don’t forget that not making a decision is likely the worst option.
When you’re faced with a couple of options, and none of them is obviously the right choice, often the worst thing you can do is not to pick one. Doing nothing is a decision and it is usually the one that will get you the worst results.
When it comes to big and important life decisions it is worth taking time to think, but usually, the time gained by trusting a quick decision is worth more than the extra info you can gain by sitting and waiting.
If you act decisively, trust your intuition, and start acting on a decision quickly you save yourself a lot of anxiety, but you also quickly get information about if that path is working for you or not. You can change course quicker and often go back to option number two.
So the next time you’re struggling to make a decision, challenge yourself to just pick something and roll with it.
