Decision Making Strategies

Not every decision has to be done with maximum research. That’s usually a waste of time. It’s more efficient to try a couple things until something works and move on (“satisficing”). A key skill you learn over time is why decisions actually matter. But it’s not inherently bad that there’s no good reason for something, it really depends on the context. And sometimes things that had good reasons turn out bad anyway because the assumptions proved wrong or circumstances changed.

"There are two ways to make decisions. One is bad, the other is worse. No one knows which is which."

This doesn't sound like a normal decision, but a rather big one. Also, after 9,999 decisions, I'd expect you to be pretty good at picking out what's important.

I'd love to learn how you approach decision making. Any tips?

If you tend toward optimal decisions, having your mind made up for you seems like it could be a real drag.

Use what you know. Should make the decision easier.

decision paralysis is a real thing

God save us from most decisions made because something is obvious (to someone).

wouldn't that lead to analysis paralysis? it seems you're avoiding the decision which many people consider the worst decision
