Too Many Decisions

Tuesday, March 31st, 2009

Most days, I don’t know which direction to go first.   On a day to day basis, sometimes even a minute by minute basis, there is more than one decision to be made.  So how do you decide what to decide first?!

Prioritize – by focusing on what’s really important, you can isolate the important decisions from the non-important or life-altering decisions.

Categorize – put all those little decisions in their own little ‘buckets.’ Reduce the number of decisions by grouping them in their own categories and attack them one bucket at a time.  An example would be food decisions…what to make for breakfast, lunch and dinner for the kids.  Group all of those little questions into one category for the week or for the month and attack that problem one time and one time only.  Make five lunches for the week instead of one lunch a day for five days.

More decision making strategies to come.

Making Decisions In Today’s World

Monday, March 30th, 2009

Seems like when one decision in life is made, it opens up a flood of other decisions that have to be made.  This is the place to explore all the dilemmas, questions and dramas you may have to decide, especially in the state of the world today. A decision you made even 18 months ago may result in a very different solution today if you had to make that decision again. We’ll explore decisions from the smallest to the largest … from deciding on an eye cream for eye wrinkles to where to buy the next pair of children’s dance shoes to where to invest your hard-earned dollars.
