Making decision is one thing that sometimes put a pause in people’s life maybe because they may be in dilemma and some people do not know how to decide on things very fast just like me. I used to be slow when it comes to making decisions but ever since I realized that, I made findings on ways in which I can finalize my decisions very quick and some steps that I should take when it comes to making decision. Not just anyhow decision but a decision that will be beneficial to me.
I’ve got a few steps I take before I finally make my decision and they are:
Making a research
When we want to do something or take a new step in life, it is very important to make proper findings about thatthing we are going for. Unfortunately, some people fall for the wrong information or research source so it is always important to get our informations from the right sources.
After making our research, we must have had some plans in our heads and the next thing we have to do is…
Sketching out various plans
This is the first thing I do. I don’t like to go just one way when it comes to making decisions. I make sure to try one or two things before I finally choose what I want. I can sketch out two or three plans and put them into practice first. They are mostly tentative plans just to help me know what it is like that I will choose, the kind of challenge I’d face on those plans and at the end of the day, I usually go for the kind of challenge that I can cope with. After this, I make sure that I…
Visualize my plans
Let’s forget about making decisions right now. When so many of us want something, we usually tend to visualize it mostly by creating images in our heads so we would know how it will look like even though it may not end up looking that way but we must have thought of one thing or the other in our heads.
It is just the same thing with the plans I have made. I make sure that I visualize each of those plans before I go for the right decision. I’m also sure that no matter how bad it can be, the decision won’t be bad with these steps. The next or last thing to do is…
Making a decision
That’s the last thing to do. I’m very sure that your mind should be at rest when you have made your research and also visualized your plans but unfortunately, you may feel you have made the proper research and followe the best steps but things may still not work well. This is normal and it is normal to feel bad and hearbroken after your stress.
What if things don’t go according to plan?
This can be very sad but I mentioned earlier that I usually make research and then I will have up to three plans before I go for one. The best thing to do is try out the other two options.
Out of the two, I’m sure one will work and that’s why it is always important to make three solid plans at first so you’d know that you’ve got two back up plans left and you can go back to those two if the one you actually went for did not work well.
These are my steps in taking decision and if it does not work out, we go harder!
