The Simple Trick to Make Decisions Faster (Without Stress)
Most people struggle with decisions.
Not the big ones—the house, the job, the major life moves.
It’s the small ones that steal the most energy.
- What should I work on first?
- Should I reply now or later?
- Is this the right way or the wrong way?
Indecision isn’t just a delay—it’s an energy leak.
And the longer you stay stuck, the more drained you feel.
Why Decisions Feel Harder Than They Are
It’s not about the choice itself.
It’s about fear of getting it wrong.
People overthink, overanalyze, and wait for the perfect answer. But perfect answers don’t exist—only momentum does.
The real cost of indecision isn’t making the wrong choice.
It’s wasting time making no choice at all.
The 5-Minute Decision Rule
Instead of getting stuck, try this:
1️⃣ Set a timer. Give yourself 5 minutes to decide—no more.
2️⃣ Limit your options. More choices = more hesitation. Reduce the options and move forward.
3️⃣ Ask: What’s the worst that happens? If it’s not irreversible, make the call and adjust later.
4️⃣ Default to action. If both choices are good, pick one and start moving.
5️⃣ Decide now, review later. Most decisions can be tweaked—waiting doesn’t improve them, action does.
Decisions are fuel. The faster you make them, the further you go.
Momentum Wins Every Time
Some people stay stuck in decision loops, waiting for clarity to strike.
Others decide fast, adjust as they go, and keep moving forward.
And the ones who do?
They don’t just get more done.
They build confidence, create momentum, and free up energy for what actually matters.
Because the best decision isn’t always the perfect one.
It’s the one you actually make.
