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.
