Taking decisions ought to be the most challenging thing a person has to go through in his whole life.
Whether it’s ‘What to eat today?’ or ‘Which path would lead me to a better future?’ By making decisions is how we survive, so it’s important that we think before we take action.
One wrong decision or one wrong action can lead us to terrible outcomes. So how can we keep ourselves from doing that? By effective decision making.
Now, it’s not necessary that we can make perfect decisions all the time, but we certainly can raise the odds of it by effective decision making.
The first thing that you can do is to come up with a bunch of possible solutions. It will make it easier to select the one that you might consider as the best option.
It still would depend on what you decide to do, but you would have considered all your options by doing this.
Think about what each solution would result in and how they would affect your future. The next thing is weighing up the risks involved.
The seriousness of the consequences of making the wrong decision and the benefits of making the right one.
The risk of taking the wrong turn and getting lost can make you go on the right path.
It makes all the difference.
Sometimes, we have to think about others as well. If you need to decide that affects others, consider what decisions would be the best for most people, or at least which decisions would negatively impact the fewest people, then take any further step.
Keep right to your morals and values. It’s important that while making a decision, you keep your principles in mind. If the situation is asking you to bend your morals, then find an alternative immediately.
Because if it is self-degrading, then it’s not worth it. Or you can go old-school and make a pros and cons list. Another way to make an effective decision is by reviewing your previous choices. As they say, ‘Learn from your mistakes.’ You should see how your earlier decisions have worked out, and you can keep yourself from repeating those mistakes.
However, be ready to be wrong because not 100% of decisions can be perfect. Sometimes taking advice from people can also give positive results.
Note what they have to say about your situation, analyze their answer and then take a step. It always helps to have different perspectives. Take advice from the experienced.
From the people who have once walked in your shoes. Ask them what they did or would do if they were in the situation as you.
Don’t ask them what you should do because it will only make you more confused. Ask them what they would do, and then do what you think is best for you. Go with your gut.
Always keep your confidence in check. Sometimes it’s overconfidence that takes us to a wrong path, and sometimes it’s the lack of it that stops us from seizing an opportunity. Believe in yourself that you are capable of making good decisions, but at the same time, don’t overestimate. Keep your eyes on the prize.
The decision making gets even more comfortable when there is a price at the end of it. With little to go on, we seem more prone to latch onto irrelevancies and let them sway our judgment.
But if there is a chance to get a good price, then what’s stopping us from making a thoughtful decision. Try not to dwell too much on regrets. Most of us are afraid of failing. But we rarely ask, “Would I regret that failure?”
Similarly, a lot of us love envisioning massive success.
But if we ask, “Would I regret never having that success?” usually, we find that the answer is “no.” And once you have taken the risk and made a choice, don’t think about the what-ifs.
What’s done is done. Move on ahead. Commit to your decision and if possible always have a backup plan. And lastly, always remember that sometimes, making no decision is also a decision.
Granted, it does not work in every situation, but if it helps you have your peace of mind, it’s your choice.
