These techniques help us make decisions with our heads first and forget about the consequences that we worry about so often. Also, check out this TED Talk by Patrick McGinnis regarding making decisions faster.

1. The 2-Minute Rule

This strategy is intended to make you take action by setting a deadline. It's simple enough to incorporate any time you need to decide, just start the timer and then begin the process.

The time limit requires you to assess quickly the advantages and disadvantages before quickly coming to a decision. The ease of use behind this technique makes it easy to use.

A study found that those who know that an assignment will be accomplished at the end, put more effort in it, which results in less expense. Study participants reported feeling less tired. This is the power and importance of deadlines.

If you're slow in making decisions, then this suggestion can be a lifesaver. You also don't have to limit yourself to two minutes each time. It is possible to work for anything between 1 to 5 minutes. Click this link: FS D20 Dice for more information.

If you believe that you have to make a major or important decision that takes more than 5 minutes, allow yourself extra time but establish the date. You'll be required to make a decision, regardless of whether it's 24-hours or a week.

2. Think Black and White

Sometimes we're overwhelmed with options. Overloading with anything can be overwhelming us. Research studies show that the average American adult makes an average of 35,000 decisions every day, which can lead to analysis paralysis or decision fatigue.

In this case, use your decision-making abilities to assess your options as either good or bad, simplifying and taking the hassle of weeding out those that aren't optimal.

For those who want to question every variable This approach is perfect. It's fine to devote some time thinking about things to help you evaluate the situation more effectively, but it can become difficult when you begin to get caught up in your thoughts.

3. Put it in a Hat

This is one of the simplest decision-making skills. If all possibilities appear to be of equal or similar value Write down your top options on separate pieces paper and place them in a hat or bag. Your decision will be the one you choose at random.

This is ideal for quick decision-making. This also works when you have a lot of things that you do not want to do--these you could pair with a reward hat.

Perform a task, and then, when it's completed, you can pull your reward of choice from the second hat. This will make it easier.

This one is not for large making decision. I wouldn't suggest putting all the possible options in the hat, especially if you are deciding which place to buy your first house. If you need to choose which outfit you'll wear to the dinner party in the near future, the hat could prove very useful.

4. Keep your eyes focused on the Present

It's easy to become overwhelmed by the big image and fail to see the impact of our choices in the near future.

The process of reaching a decision becomes mentally draining since you're trying to think of every step , and each result. It's better to save your energy for the job that is at hand, and instead attempt to make the best choice you can.

Stay present in the moment and make a decision based on what you think will make the next move the most simple instead. Doing this for every step is a great choice for those who are a constant non-decision maker.

Visualization is a crucial skill in decision-making. Visualizing the outcomes of every possible choice can dramatically improve your performance.

5. Accept the idea of failing

Slow decision-makers have the greatest anxiety that their decisions may lead to bad results.

Then we respond by overthinking the issue which causes us to think about every aspect involved in the decision. We are at risk of losing our ability to make decisions because we waste all of our time and energy thinking about useless items. The way we think must be changed.

In the autobiography of General Norman Blackkopf"It Doesn't Take to be a Hero He outlines 14 rules for leadership. Rule 13 says "when you are in charge you must take the lead." Making decisions is the only method to progress. Yes, even incorrect decisions.
