When I’ve completed my research
on alternatives
and I still can’t make a decision,
a loved one will often
make the decision for me.
If I agree with this decision,
I’ll go along with it.
If I don’t agree with this decision,
I’ll fight for my choice.
Either way,
I make a decision.
“Often, procrastination
is a symptom of indecision
—you don’t start on a project
because you haven’t decided
yet how you want to do it.
When faced with a choice
you’re having trouble making,
flip a coin.
This forces you to decide
in a few seconds
what you could otherwise stall on for weeks.
Don’t necessarily accept the coin’s decision
—if the result of “heads”
makes you want to cheat,
that reveals the decision
you’ve been wanting to make all along.”
If you’re indecisive
about a business decision,
force the choice.
This could show you
what you truly want the decision
to be.
