Good question. Write down, the the form of a question, the decision that you must make, at the top of a page. Then, underneath, make a list of the information you will need to make an informed decision. Under that make 2 columns or more depending on the possible choices. Leave one column blank for choices you may not have considered yet as possibilities. This will need to be a very big piece of paper because ... You need two columns under each possible choice, one for the reasons why it is a good choice, and the other for the reasons that it may not be ... or for the potential problems. Gather your information. Then begin to make your lists and weigh the choices. If there are more pros than cons to a particular choice, consider it a front-runner and sleep on your decision. Find a mature and trusted person that you can discuss these findings with, not just for advice, but for the kinds of questions they might raise. Ask them first if there is anything you have not considered. Then ask them if they have any advice. It is good to seek advice from more than one person. Having done all you can do, make the best choice you can with the information you have. You can simplify this process, but the pro and con column is one of the best tools I know.

Well, go with tomsims way, I believe it to be very good too and I use that myself or at lest my version of it. Sometimes you may not be able to go through the process of weighing a decision like that, so you should practice make quicker shorter decisions. Decision making is a learned response, so you need to learn it. Go with tomsims way for major decisions until you feel more comfortable with stuff, but for littler less important decisions, try having a 5 minute think about it and make a decision and go with it. Not all your decisions will be winners and that is part of the learning process. Simple little things like in a group or with a date and they ask what movie would you like to see...everybody gets paralysed by not wanting to make a decision tht will affect the group so on one makes a decision - so you be the one to make a decision! Some decisions are either or kind of ones, some require thought and sometimes you just can't make up or mind - so don't ever be afraid to admit you can't make a decision and don't ever be afraid to walk away from it either and DON'T get tangled up inside over decision making, not worth it. So my advice is to learn to make the smaller ones and get advice for the bigger ones because one day some one younger will be coming to you for your opinion! Goodluck

well, the same way you chose la liga over saprissa.. or perez zeledon.. hehe

Try to visualize the outcome of each choice. The one with the most benefits to gain, or has a better outcome, go with that.

Use what I have coined as my 3 C's. Calm - first make sure you are in the right mind, not in a panic, mad, or emotionally charged. Clear - put all the facts on the table and be clear of what the effects of your decision will be Concise - once you became clear of which way you should go, do it without hesitation or insecurity. Follow through until the outcome you were trying to obtain is reached.

Realize that to delay making a decision is, in effect, making one. Many times your options narrow while you dither. There is rarely a decision so momentous that it is the end of the world if you err. There are many paths to the same destination. Choosing the "wrong" thing usually just means that new decisions will have to be made again and quickly. The good news is you will have very current data on what didn't work to guide this next decision. Practice. Make decisions that normally preoccupy you for long periods of deliberation more quickly. Once you have the experience of living through the good ,the bad, and the ugly your confidence will grow. Trust and go with your gut when in a situation where "all things" seem equal.

Best way is to truly know yourself and know what you want. Meditate and once you are at peace, you can make decisions and know that you made the right one. Build up your confidence and just trust yourself.

Look at all sides, see what the pros and cons are, set a time limit for yourself, then make a decision. Sometimes over thinking things can be bad.

You've got to realise that it isn't the end of the world if you make a wrong decision - everyone makes wrong decisions, it's no big deal, and in fact there's much to learn from a wrong decision. And anyway, often indecision is worser than a not too great decision. Make up your mind, and decide on it. Don't let yourself start to doubt yourself; this is what leads to indecision. If you start worrying too much, and thinking into it too much, that will breed more doubt and when one is full of doubt how can they make a decision? Just make up your mind, stick with your decision (unless of course things go wrong, then maybe it would be wise to turn back and try something else) and trust yourself and your decision making abilities. If it helps, get a piece of paper, write down all your options and advantages/disadvantages/potential consequences, review what options you have and decide on an action. Over time, you will make some right decisions, wrong decisions and decisions which don't make much of a difference. But the important thing is that you'll gain more confidence, and realise how little of a deal it usually is when we don't make the best decision.
