How To Take Action
I would suggest implementing the strategy of making better decisions by not making really stupid ones. This means pausing and thinking, "Is this a bad idea?" If it feels off, maybe it's best to not do it.
If you're working with a partner or in a team, value each other's opinions. When you have to make a big decision, listen to each other, and find a compromise. This can lead to smarter choices that help everyone.
When you're leading a business, you want to be a good leader. That means thinking about how your choices will touch everyone involved. Ask yourself, "Will this make things better for all the people in my company?" This can be tricky, but it gets easier with practice.
If you're facing a disagreement, try to see where the other person is coming from. They might be worried, thinking about themselves, or just really busy. Understanding this can help you talk it out better.
When you're making decisions, use logic and evidence, not just feelings. If you have an intuition about something, try to figure out why. Look at past experiences – it's like your brain spotting patterns from before.
Be open to changing your mind if new info comes up. Ask, "If I started this today, with what I know now, would I do it the same way?" If not, what can you change?
Learn from others who got where you want to be. If they say they wouldn't do something again, maybe you shouldn't either.
Finally, decide what's most important to do right now. Focus on what's most relevant at the moment.
And remember, walking can be a great way to think about your choices. It's quiet time to reflect on what's best.
