Tip 1: Keep learning
Most of us feel insignificant or anxious about many tasks, especially some new ones, because we know less about the job or have limited knowledge. Complete knowledge of the task is essential for completing a given task with high quality, considering obstacles and their mitigation strategies, etc.
So if you want to make progress in this area, try to get as much information as possible, learn from your own experience and the examples of others, and explore or develop standard processes. Learning to differentiate between when you're great and when you're lucky is the key to rapid improvement.
Tip 2: Feedforward/Review of Results and Process
Another important process in your learning process is "feedforward" or conducting a "review of important results and processes." We live in a "fire and forget" approach most of the time, especially with some quick decisions, but step back and understand "what did you learn from it," "how did you improve it," and "how to avoid further mistakes?" ". These questions can greatly improve your decision-making skills.
Tip 3: Minimize uncertainty
Now you already know that the expected results are not within our control because there will be many unknown and uncertain factors in this process. But with time, knowledge, and experience, we can estimate the factors that may affect your desired results. Once you are aware of these obstacles, you can work to suppress these factors and improve your decision-making.
Tip 4: Pause in short-term decision-making
A wise man once said:
Watch your thoughts and they become words; watch your words and they become actions; watch your actions and they become habits; watch your habits and they become character; watch your character because It will become your destiny. Rapid decisions are often less well thought out or very impulsive, but pausing for a moment and understanding the full scenario or context may help you avoid this daily challenge.
Tip 5: Don’t act on extreme emotions
As humans, we have free will, which means we have choices. We make decisions and choices every time; most of the time, we think and decide based on our comfort level. But in extreme emotions, we don’t think too much about our words or choices, and we can be drawn into unpleasant situations in the future. In these situations, you need to be extremely cautious and suspend any important decision-making activities following extreme emotions.
final thoughts
There are no good or bad decisions, only right decisions. Uncertainty about the outcome puts the entire process into the category of good or bad. Learning from it and improving upon it, that’s the journey.
