1. Set a Time Limit
- Give yourself a deadline for making the decision (e.g., 30 seconds for small choices, 10 minutes for bigger ones).
- Use a timer if necessary to force action.
2. Prioritize What Matters
- Identify the most important factor in your decision.
- If one option clearly aligns with that factor, go with it.
3. Eliminate the “Perfect” Choice
- There’s rarely a perfect option—just pick the best one available and move forward.
- Accept that some uncertainty is normal.
4. Use the 80/20 Rule
- If 80% of the information points in one direction, make the decision.
- Don’t waste time chasing the last 20% of details.
5. Limit Your Options
- Too many choices slow you down. Narrow your options to 2-3 before deciding.
6. Trust Your Instincts
- If both options seem equally good, go with your gut feeling.
- Often, your intuition already knows what’s best.
