Suzy Welch, editor-in-chief of Harvard Business Review, has developed a technique to increase the chances of making the right decision in every situation, this technique is based on taking into account the immediate, medium and long deadlines of the decision in Welch proposes that before making a decision, it is necessary to analyze it on the basis of the 10/10/10 rule, i. e. ask yourself if you will feel bad in the next 10 minutes, in the next 10 months, and even whether you will remember that decision within 10 years.
We make decisions every day, whether by will or obligation, if we evaluate what has been bothering us for a long time, do we realize that there can also be good consequences of bad decisions?And what? Good decisions can bring unexpected results.
- Therefore.
- It is better not to worry too much about which decision is right and.
- At the same time.
- Better analyze the possibilities and/or consequences of anything that may happen.
- If we become obsessed with the right decision.
- We will assume that somehow we will be rewarded for one thing and punished for another.
- However.
- If even the real world doesn’t work that way.
- Why should we consider it a dichotomy?.
“It is in moments of decision that your destiny is formed. -Tony Robbins-
In decision-making we must think that we will at least stick to the learnings that the decision-making process itself will bring, in addition to the other lessons that the chosen choice will bring us. chosen was the best or the worst, many times we depend on the degree of commitment we have established with him.
Faced with the task of making a decision, our intuition and feelings about this situation will have a considerable influence, otherwise on the decision itself, at least on what we will feel after we have made it, in the face of several options, it is normal to find doubts about what is right or wrong. All we can do in this regard is let time pass, see what is going on and correct if necessary.
Many decisions offer a hidden option: do nothing, it is said to be hidden because some people think that choosing this alternative is not decisive, nothing further from reality, deciding not to do anything is also deciding, we are talking about an option. that is not bad in itself: in many situations, doing nothing is prudent and even allows the emergence of new alternatives, which we would like more.
However, in some situations doing nothing is the option chosen because it produces the least dissonance, the one that requires the least effort, or the one that avoids the part of responsibility that corresponds to us in its consequences, in all three cases doing nothing is usually not the best option. This may be a short-term relief, but in the long run, this option is likely to cause anxiety.
? Think 100 times before making a decision, but once you’ve made it, stick to it. -Muhammad Ali Jinnah-
A good idea to enjoy each experience is to learn not to judge yourself or punish you for thinking you made a mistake. Errors must be fixed or fixed, but not punished. There is no important and complicated decision that does not require sacrifice or resignation.
Taking advantage of the opportunities gives us the confidence to believe when we are going through difficult times and trust seems to have disappeared, on the other hand, even more important than knowing how to take advantage of it, is to know how to generate an opportunity, to have the will and intelligence to move when you are in a station where no train passes.
Also, the worst thing we can do when trying to make the right decision is not to make a mistake, but to try to justify it rather than to take it as a warning for similar future situations. It’s important to be prepared, even more important to know how to wait, but enjoying the right time is the secret of life.
When history repeats itself not so much because of the choice made, but because it has not learned from previous situations, the advantage of decisions is that the trains of life pass constantly, we can lose one that would have led us to a wonderful place, but we will never know which train can come and renew our hopes.
“Never make a negative decision in difficult times. Never make important decisions when you’re in a bad mood. Wait, be patient. The storm will pass. And spring will come. “Robert H. Schuller?
