Making a decision depends on someone and the circumstances of the situation, the period it takes someone to make a big choice might vary significantly. While some people may be able to make important decisions quickly, others might need more time for thought and consideration. It could last for a few hours or minutes, days, weeks, or even longer. Whenever I am making any decision it takes time, like a week or even months depending on how significant it is, I can not just jump to a conclusion like that.
Some of the conditions that could affect how decisions are made are
a person's level of knowledge and understanding, the decision's complexity, the quality and accessibility of the information, their main goals and personal values, and the decision's possible outcomes. People should allocate enough time to thoroughly consider their choices and arrive at a decision that fits them.
STEPS I TAKE WHEN MAKING DECISIONS
DEFINE MY DECISION:- I always have a clear understanding of the problem or goal that needs to be decided. Then I determine what has to be resolved and why it matters.
ALWAYS SEEK ADVICE:- Acquire relevant details from people who are professional in the aspect I am deciding on, and gather information from them such as facts and viewpoints, to help you make a decision. This could entail talking to people asking for guidance, or making inquiries.
HAVING PLAN B:- I always Come up with several possible solutions or ideas. List all of the potential methods or solutions to the problem. Consider both the old as well as my new ideas.
CHECK MY DECISIONS: before making any decisions, I always Consider the advantages, disadvantages, risks, and possible effects of my options. Always think if my decision will not affect other people, my ideals, and even what I am targeting.
MAKE MY DECISION:- I always determine which choice best fits my priorities and has the most chance of achieving my desired result after some deliberation and consideration.
TAKE ACTION: After much deliberation and thinking, the next step is to put my decision into action by organizing my thoughts and carrying out the necessary actions. One thing I love to do is always ready to make changes along the line since sometimes choices need to be adjusted.
ALWAYS REFLECT AND GAIN MORE KNOWLEDGE: This is one of my important points, I will never make this mistake after making any decisions, I always Study the decisions and the impacts after they have been made and put into action. For future reference, because I have considered the aspects of my decision making process that were successful and those that could need improvement.
HOW DO I HANDLE DISAPPOINTMENT
Well, that is why I always make plan B when making decisions, I do not think that there will be any disappointment that I will not be able to handle, I will always give myself a second chance and I know I can do better than before, I will never allow anything to weigh me down or take my joy away.
If I know the issue is taking a toll on me mentally then I will have someone to talk to, someone who can ease me from the stress and that is always my mother or any of my siblings, they have the password to my memory anytime I am down.
