Sometimes decisions are not life-defining, but seem soul sucking. Study environmental science or work on my essay for history? Go to the accounting club meeting or the leadership lecture? Decisions can be hard and take time but having some techniques to use makes it easier.
Try some of these strategies next time:
- Define your choices and seek information
- Make a pro/con list or a cost-benefit analysis
- Imagine the advice you would give to a friend
- Experiment with having the choice made for you and seeing how you feel about it
- Need to make a quick decision? Set a timer!
