It is good that every person always has a choice, but sometimes it can be very difficult to make the right decision. As a rule, the difficulty of choosing is connected with the fact that sometimes it is very difficult to predict the result of our actions, and as a result, doubts arise as to which option is right. In order for such doubts to arise less, you need to adhere to some simple rules:
1. Think about what you really want. By performing some kind of action, we strive to satisfy our desires, but it also happens that the desires of other people are accepted as “ours”. According to this principle, we buy in supermarkets a well-advertised product, which is located near the cash register. And only then we think about whether we really wanted to buy it.
2. Weigh all the pros and cons. Divide the paper into two columns. Call one column "minuses" another "pluses". Imagine what positive and negative consequences can come if you choose a specific option. Write down all the options that come to your mind, and it is possible that one of the columns will significantly outweigh the other.
3. Consider the ultimate goal. Usually, puzzling over what to do, we roughly imagine the consequences of choice. Therefore, when making a decision, it is necessary to understand whether these consequences will contribute to the achievement of the ultimate goal. For example, the “call or not call” dilemma is easily solved depending on the purpose. If the goal is communication with a person, then you need to call. If you need to find out if this person wants to chat with you, then it's worth the wait.
4. Prioritize. It happens that we need to make several decisions or perform a series of actions, and for this it is necessary to understand what to do first and what last. First of all, you always need to do what is very important, but easy to do; secondly, what is very important and difficult to do; in the third - not very important and easy to do; and finally, it does not matter and is difficult to do. For students, for example, it is advisable to first do homework, then figure out the missing material, then take a walk on the street and finally try to pass a difficult level in a computer game.
5. Use lots. The die will not only indicate the right choice, but will push a person to an independent decision. Often the solution has already been chosen subconsciously and if the coin tells you the option that you least want, you can always throw it again.
6. Remember that if you still can not choose what to do, then you have already decided to leave everything in the old way.
