Warren Buffett once said,
βMost people only need to make 4 or 5 really good decisions in their life."
Make the right ones and you never need to worry ever again.
Make the bad ones and your life will become miserable.
Life comes down to the quality of the decisions we make.

Life comes down to the quality of the decisions we make.
But not every decision in life is equal.
There are little decisions you make daily and the 'once in a lifetime' decisions.
Each of them must be treated differently.

Each of them must be treated differently.
We all know common daily decisions like
β’ what to do
β’ what to eat
β’ or what to wear
But they rob essential time and attention from you.
So we must escape and counter them.

Each decision exhausts your mind.
Reduce their impact by
β’ delegation
β’ automation
β’ elimination
to get your essential attention back.

My favorite way to deal with them is principles.
Principles are easy-to-follow patterns for similar decisions.
Without them, we would need to react to all things and make every decision individually.

Principles save you from the death of 1000 cuts.
Each cut means a little decision that further exhausts you and pushes you deeper into decision fatigue.

Then there are the 'once in a lifetime' decisions like
β’ your health
β’ your career
β’ your friends
β’ your partner
that will have more impact than anything else.
Make them right and everything will take care of itself.

To tackle them, set yourself in a condition of pure clarity.
Simplicity is the precondition to thinking clearly.
And clarity is the absence of distraction.
Achieve both and think carefully.

Achieve both and think carefully.
Put yourself in a condition where no things bother you and absolutely nothing will distract you.
Reduce the impact of everything that comes your way like
β’ redundant efforts
β’ negative thoughts
β’ distracting sounds
Then take your time to think deeply.

I personally play a round of chess before making a great decision.
It puts me in the perfect state to think clearly and make the right choice.
