Do you ever reflect on
- When do I make better decisions?
- What are my best decisions? What helped me to make those decisions?
- How can I continue to make fewer decisions that I regret?
We are all wired to be influenced by our most recent decisions whether good or bad. Our mind chatter will continue to create emotions around a recent decision. A good decision increases our pride and self-confidence. A regrettable decision creates more chatter about what we could have done better and how to avoid similar decisions in the future. This can lead us to make a few more quick decisions to get back to a better decision-making process.
This app enables you to record, tag, and track your decisions for better awareness. By tagging your decisions appropriately you can reflect on how you make decisions.
To Get Started, think about logging following decisions:
- What decisions are on Top of your mind and keeping you awake? It may be a career change or an investment decision.
- What decisions do you need to make based on life events in the next 3 months
While logging a decision, attach one or more of the following Tags
Decision Tags
Decision Type: Personal, Career, Work, Family, Money, Health, Spiritual, Travel, Hobby, Safety
Decision Timeline Impact: Long Term, Short Term, Routine, Time Sensitive
Decision Assessment immediately after taking the decision: Good, Bad, Financial Gain, Financial Loss, Hasty
Decision Retrospective (after a period of time): Hasty, Gone Bad, Regretting, Best
Tip: Leave Decision Taken Date blank to keep the decision open.
This activity will enable you to reflect on
- What kind of decisions am I dealing with in my life?
- How many of the decisions have different timeline impact?
- What is the immediate assessment of the decision vs reflection after a period of time)
As you start documenting your decisions you will notice that there is a pattern to the decisions. What may be a difficult decision at some point will become a routine decision based on past experience.
e.g. You make a decision to invest some money in the stock market. The first time you make a decision, you are cautious and worried about financial Impact. Once you make a series of decisions with some good outcomes as well as some regrettable outcomes, your decision-making becomes mature and you can start to make decisions routinely
We don’t make decisions in isolation. We need a way to collaborate. It can be validating your thought process with a trusted family member, advisor or mentor. It can be socializing the pros and cons of taking a decision with a group of people who will need to support you after the decision is made. You will be able to do that soon using the app.
