Decision making is an actual academic field. Tertiary institutions have entire departments dedicated to it.
Because it turns out, we’re not very good at making decisions. Part of the problem (I think) is that we think we’re good at it.

Clarify what the "decision is.
Figure out what the opposite decision would be. This is the “Undecision.”
Identify what will happen if you don’t make a decision. “Indecision”, is a decision.
Next time you’re faced with a decision, try spending five minutes working through these three steps.
