Shout-Out: How to Make Smart Decisions
…In less than sixty seconds! I thoroughly enjoyed this article about how to make tough decisions. The basic idea is that, anytime you are feeling overwhelmed by a decision, take a step back and ask yourself: “Is this me?”
When making decisions via the “Is this me?†method, you’re using an idealized version of yourself for the comparison. This is your best self. It’s who you are in your dreams and goals, who you want to be.
What happens when you begin to fill your life with people, places, and objects that reasonably reflect your true self? By osmosis you’ll begin to take on more of those qualities yourself.
Especially when trying to make an intelligent choice as a consumer, things can get crazy. Companies and employees will often tell you what they think you should do or buy. But this little tip helps put things into perspective–you are the one who is going to live with the decision you make, and so you should make that decision understanding your own self.
