Building Confidence in Quick Decisions

0 min read

The Practice Progression

Week 1: Apply to tiny decisions (coffee order, parking spot) Week 2: Expand to daily choices (lunch, outfit) Week 3: Include weekly decisions (groceries, plans) Week 4: Add monthly choices (subscriptions, purchases)

Build confidence through repetition.

The Evidence Journal

Track your "good enough" decisions: - Decision made - Time spent - Outcome satisfaction (1-10) - Would more time have helped?

Review after one month. You'll find 95% were perfectly fine.

The Regret Reality

Studies show we regret: - Actions more than inactions initially - Inactions more than actions long-term - Time wasted most of all

You'll regret the experiences you missed while optimizing more than any suboptimal choice.
