The easy way to the right decision

The headline is misleading but it’s what people like to see so there you have it. Why is it misleading? Because we can’t know the future so we can’t know if a decision is “right”. However, we can make GOOD decisions and good decisions are what improve our circumstances.

How to decide if a decision is good

A good decision requires you to answer just one question: “Based on the information I have, does this decision make sense?“

If our decision makes sense based on all the information we have, it’s a good decision. If in the future it turns out to not be the *right* decision, we pivot.

People want long articles. But, I won’t give you one because it’s not required. Because, it really IS that simple.

The important thing to remember is that we can’t see the future. So it’s impossible to know if we’re making the right decision. We just do our best to make *good* decisions.

Pro tip:

Delay a decision for as long as it’s responsible to do so. This allows you to gather as much information as possible before deciding.
What does “responsible” mean? It means that at the point at which you absolutely have to make the decision, you make it. Even if you don’t feel you have all the information. Otherwise you’re just procrastinating, delaying, stagnating, missing opportunities.
