There are three types of decisions: No Decision, Snap Decision, and Responsible Decision
Decisions are extremely important. They are a reflection of your values and can change the outcome of many important aspects of your life.
No Decision: Letting others decide what will happen.
Snap Decision: Making a choice without thought of the outcome or result.
Responsible Decision: Thinking about more than you (including others) and thinking ahead (not only now).
Create a list on Google Docs that shares keystone decisions in your life. What made you make that decision? What decision type was it? What values did it highlight within you?
1. Identify your choices There are always more solutions than the obvious ones. Start by building yourself a good list of choices.
2. What's best for you now? If you only thought of yourself and 'right now', which of the choices is your favorite?
3. Consider others What point-of-view will other people have about your various decisions?
4. Consider your future. What is the best choice for your future, or which one has the best possible future benefits?
5. Make a choice and go for it Once you have identified some choices, and considered the future and social implications of each choice, pick one and just do it. If you learn along the way that another choice would be better, it's okay to change your mind.
