Making Quick Decisions – 1,2,3, Go!

Similar to acting on your intuition, the ability to make quick decisions is very important to your success. We’ve all been in meetings that last too long because of indecisiveness and the need to over-analyze data. This is caused by people making decisions based on different things. In order to be decisive we need to know what makes us ready to choose. Here are a few methods to help you decide:

The “1, 2, 3, Go” Method – for the intuitive person

If you’re truly stumped between two choices, ask yourself or others to say the first choice that comes to mind after counting to 3. This is usually a “gut” reaction and is typically the same choice that would have been made after hours of over-analysis.

Pros & Cons Method – for the balanced individual

Lay out the pros and cons on a proverbial balance-beam. The choice with the most pros is likely the right choice.

Remove Emotions – for the proud or emotional

Never make a decision while you’re upset or emotional. Try to eliminate the personal reasons that keep you tied to a poor decision, cut your losses and move on.

There are a variety of ways to make faster decisions. Remember, nearly all decisions are reversible so don’t be afraid that you’ve made the wrong choice. Take the time to discover how you process decisions and your pace will greatly improve.
