INTRO:

Do you remember when did you take your first decision? or how many decisions do you make throughout the day? Do you find making decisions easy?

Well, we all know that while some decisions are easy to make some are not that easy and some decisions are really tough to make. We need to make decisions when we have more than one choice. Making decisions should be considered a Devine ability as it defines our path in life. Also, every creature is not fortunate to exercise this privilege. No decison is free from its own hurdles and facilities. Hence, we need to choose the path which hurdles we would like to cross over happily and love to enjoy facilities it offers. lets get into the process of learning to make best decisions



Before we start lets take our approach and mindset into consideration as they make huge difference in decision making process. Right decision and wrong decision approach is not always right. At times, all the choices we have seem to be all right. In fact, indecisiveness only arises when we have 2-3 equally looking right choices. Here, lets clarify it.

A decision that meets our objective is considered right and that doesn't, is considered wrong. But do you think all the time we are all clear about the objective we want to meet?

Also, is all the data available to make that decision the best one? Have we considered all the factors that may affect that path?


Hence, first we need to do away with this approach towards decision making that decisions can be right or wrong. instead start thinking in terms of percentage of probability.

Before making the choice, ask yourself this if it is reversible or not. it will put away all the burden and reduce the fear of unexpected results.

when any business give guarantee of refund in case a consumer doesn't like the product, their sales increases exponentially as buyers more likely to make decision in its favor.


2)Brainstorming and widening all your options:

in some cases we think we have only limited options but if we really think widely we can come up with other options to consider on. like Ravi. He thinks

either he can join his family business or work for a company. However, he has been good in debate and discussion at school level and enjoys talking to people. Also, He has seen his family business grow and understand how a business scale up. Having these abilities he can become an entrepreneur too.


Apart from that, all the perks and problems which come along with a decision may or may not be equally important to you. consider giving rating to each thing coming along with the decision and weigh them. whichever score more, that should be the best choice.



3) Keep stress and emotions at bay.

Most of us must have experienced it. What blunder we create when we make any decision under stress or at the peak of any emotion. The problem is they blind us to other options and doesn't let us think clearly. but how we can keep away from the emotion at that moment. put the scenario on someone else's shoulder and then ask yourself what advice would you give to him. You see imagining this you easily walk out of the situation and get stress free.


4) Take a Trip to the Future


ree

it is needless to say that before taking any decisions think about its benefits and losses. Most of us already do that. Right? However, to be more sure about your decisions, it will be a great idea to spend some time in future. For example, if you are planning to shift in a city which is quite far from you and has different culture, spend one week or so in that city pretending you are living there permanently. This will give you insights and you will become aware of your likes and dislikes about the city or most specifically locality.



5) Be a Part of Community of Decision Makers


ree

if you are someone who has to make decisions every day in a certain field then what can be more helpful than surrounding yourself with the people who make same types of decisions as you do? You not only learn from the outcomes of your decisions but from the outcome of others' decisions as well.


Conclusion:
