“How about you? What’s your history tackling decisions?”
Sometimes I get so wrapped up in the decision
making that I get paralyzed with fear of making the wrong choice.
Or sometimes there are too many choices that
I feel overwhelmed. When this happens, I try to narrow it down to wear I end up
with only 2 best choices.
Sometimes making the decision isn’t as
important as the process getting there. While going through the process towards
a certain choice, I might find out that the other choice is the better choice.
Depending on the type of situation, I might
make a list of positive and negative points about making a certain decision. I
try to pick the choice that has the most positive points.
Many times I like asking the opinion of
different people so I can see the problem from a different perspective.
Sometimes the consensus is all the same and sometimes there are differences of
opinion. Having others explain why they would pick a certain choice and not
another. That helps me clarify the issues surrounding certain choices.
I sometimes have to ask myself what is the
worst thing that could happen if I pick one over another. Sometimes it really
doesn’t matter and I just figure that the journey of getting there is more
important.
I think it is important to help students see
that there are different ways to make a decision. It is important to see that
sometimes we might need to try different ways to reach this decision.
How do you make a decision? Please share.
