Tips On Making Good Decisions
Throughout our lives all of us are faced with making tough decisions. Do I take this new job? Do I move out of state? Do I marry her/him? Do I have this surgery? Obviously some are more important than others, some are life threatening and some are less critical. Some decisions must be made quickly and some have the luxury of time. In making these decisions how do we know we are making the right choices? How do I make good decisions? Is there a process that can help me? The answer is yes. Below are some tips to guide you through the process.
1. Define the issues: What needs to be decided? Sounds simple, but sometimes you need to understand the real issue.
2. Get the facts: Make sure the facts are accurate. Are your sources reliable?
3. What are the alternatives: Do you have options? Are they viable?
4. What are the costs/risks?: Each choice carries it's own costs, monetary and personal.
5. Are the costs/risks worth it?
6. Make a decision: You have gather the facts, looked at the options and weighed the costs, now it's decision time.
Making decisions can be easier with a personal strategic plan. Sometimes even after going through the above process, emotions still enter into the process. Having a matrix, a personal vision and mission statement can help you stay on track. If your personal vision/mission statement says that family is important than moving faraway to another state doesn't fit your personal mission.
Going with your gut instincts is fine especially in an emergency situation, but planning, having a process and carefully analzying all options is the best way to make good decisions.
