Decisions are very personal and so much goes into them, that oftentimes it is much easier to be indecisive. However, indecision does not support goals.

How To Be A Better Driver Of Your Own Decisions Decisions are so personal and taken up so much that it is often easier to be indecisive. However, the frequency does not support the goals. Setting goals is critical to increasing productivity. So how does one make a decision faster and how do we know that it is the right decision? Here are 3 P's: • • • Personal logo Priorities Productivity With each P, we're going to break down big resolution and small resolution. Suppose the big decision is related to the job and the small decision is consumer purchase. Every decision we make either helps or harms our approach to support 3P. What is your personal motto? Ideally, it helps if your logo reminds you of who you are and what you stand for. Some cool personal mottos replace destructive thinking with healthy self- regulation. Some logos are designed to change a habit. Whatever it is, own one. You will guide your day and guide your decisions throughout your day. Say, for example, you see yourself as a leader. Your personal motto is to help the people and the organization you lead. Because of this motto, you practice being unselfish on a daily basis. When making the decision, you verify your motives and ask yourself whether you are doing it for personal gain or for the benefit of others. I imagine it's the last. "seize the day" An example of a job-related decision is whether or not you should start your own business. Suppose your personal motto is "Seize today," then starting a business could be beneficial to you. You are leading your destiny and want to achieve as much as possible in a day. Now try to apply this slogan to consumer purchases.
You decide what to eat for lunch. If you haven't taken the day yet, you are probably looking for a quick option and something that won't stop you from feeling full. 'Priorities' Second, what are your priorities? You may try to make better business decisions, own your own business, or try to make more income. Or maybe you are trying to prioritize your health. Whatever it is, it is important that you know and understand them all, and also know their arrangement. As difficult as it may be, getting to know your priorities helps you make decisions that ultimately make you happier. Now, let's apply your priorities to the same big and small decision we made earlier. You are still deciding whether or not you should start your own business. I have listed your priorities as follows: • • • Revenues family the health Sure, starting your own business might be more expensive at first, and you may not generate income immediately, but there may be some great opportunities to make more income in the near future. You may have to sacrifice some quality time with your family, but you may be able to save more for them in the future. You'll also have some flexibility in deciding when you want to exercise during the day. As for your consumer purchases, you still think about lunch. Since your current income may or may not support a lavish lunch, you will likely decide to eat something fast and cheap because you value your income saving in order to provide the highest standard for your family. "productivity" After you define your priorities, it is more about connecting these priorities by being productive. Your ability to be productive is directly related to your ability to make decisions, which apply to every area of your life, not just work. Being
organized and making decisions go hand in hand. Just handling a task like sorting the mail requires the ability to make serious decisions. What to answer, what to correct, what to ignore, and what to omit may take longer than you realize. Establishing routines and creating systems for how to handle decisions will increase your productivity. Once you understand that there is a task that you don't want to do, for example, an email that you cannot handle right away, it is okay to do it later. You just need to make sure that you are really taking steps to deal with it later, for example scheduling time in your calendar for it to be processed. Creating week topics when dealing with admin responsibilities, whether it's bills that need to be paid or regular mail that needs to be opened, means that you prioritize tasks that require decisions. The only problem with saying, I'll do it later is that sometimes it doesn't come later. Brand awareness & lead generation Looking to target specific accounts and decision-makers?
