We tend to solve problems in superficial ways. When we make everyday decisions, our mind often only weighs the immediate information so that it can build a coherent story, even if the story is incomplete or unreliable.
Successful people know when they’re not in a good place to make a decision and the consequences that might lead to.
Recognize when your ability to make good decisions is vulnerable, such as when you’re in a hurry, prideful, angry, lonely, rejected, inebriated, or tired.
It isn't just about making fast decisions.
The challenge is to make informed, high-quality decisions, with inadequate or incomplete data, and do it fast.
