The Idea Of Decision

You are hungry and so is your friend. Both of you decide to go to a restaurant and it is full because it is a weekend. After battling with the queues, you come to a restaurant which serves Chinese food. You look at the menu and scratch your head, you pass on the menu to your friend – and she is confused too.

There are fried things, some weird names and the regular rice and noodles. You debate a few 10 times in your mind and decide on the regular rice. Your friend nods in agreement.

You order your food and now it will take another 20 minutes to arrive. You have already wasted 30 minutes deciding on the food.

Why does it take long for you to decide – on a seemingly small thing – ordering food?

Perfection

You don’t want to fail, not settle for the average – thus you look out for the best thing. And therefore your decision making reflects that. Many times there are decisions which might impact your evening and sometimes which might impact 10 years of your life.

And you don’t want to mess it up – so you take your time to decide whenever you are in power.

But in the long term it doesn’t help you. There are 3 to 4 areas of your life where you need to make the best decision and the rest of the things will take care of itself.

For example, if you decide strongly on the career path you want to take then it will help in other areas. Say you choose which gives you more money and you decide on each path of your career to get the most money. Then ordering food won’t bother you – because if you mess up then you can order again.

The abundance of money which you get by making strong decisions in your career helps you in making quick decisions at restaurants thus saving mental energy and time in many cases.

One Big Decision

Decide the battle you want to engage in. Everyone has different images to sustain and perspectives to take care of.

Choose where you want to spend your mental power each day on one big decision. For example, if you are the one who loves fashion then decide on which clothes to wear and then take the other small decisions in a snap or pass it on.

Similarly, if you are a foodie then choose your foods with all the measurements but don’t fret over which series to watch next. Just pick one and if it is bad, switch to something else. It is better than surfing for hours with nothing to watch.

Whatever the personality trait you care about, invest in them – make those the one big decision you take care of. And the rest of things should be passed on to others – preferably those who care about those things.

Small Decision

One step at a time and you will walk 1000 steps over time. This principle applies to everything. Whatever is what you want to accomplish – decide on 100 different stages and you will grow.

For example, if you want to become a fashion icon then choose what you wear today. Save money and subscribe to fashion magazines. But the services which stream the fashion shows. Go and watch the fashion show live – try to get a job in the fashion world and so on.

All of these are micro decisions which will help you shape the idea which matters to you.

Slowly these small decisions will become a part of your identity and then you will become accomplished like you envisioned.

Take Baby Steps Even When You Aren’t Ready

Aiming for the future is a good thing. And you should prepare for it but the things will change because
