Decisions: A Checklist

If the decision will create a major impact after a year and there are serious implications from making the wrong choice (such as marrying someone you don’t love), then it’s a big decision. 

Set aside time to think over it. 

Examples of small decisions:

  • Which hair conditioner to buy.
  • What colour cable clips to buy.

Examples of mid-term decisions:

  • Whether to break off a relationship.
  • Whether to collaborate with someone on a project.

Examples of big decisions:

  • Whether to marry someone
  • What career path to go for
  • Deciding what is your life purpose
  • Whether to have kids
