“It’s better to be boldly decisive and risk being wrong than to agonise at length and be right too late.” — Marilyn Moats Kennedy
Make fast (but not rushed) decisions as quickly as possible. Any decision is better than no decision.
- If you aren’t clear on where you want to go, any road will take you there.
- It’s important to do things & make decisions very fast!
- You learn more per unit time because you make contact with reality more frequently.
- Going fast makes you focus on what’s important.
Speed is rewarded in life.
- Decisive. Make decisions quickly and you can correct them faster.
- Proactive. Solve problems now, while they are still small.
- Bold. Go for it today rather than delaying your dreams.
Don’t rush, but don’t wait.
“I now just place more value on decision speed. If you can make twice as many decisions at half the precision, that’s actually often better.”
“Make more decisions with less confidence but in significantly less time. And just recognize that in most cases, you can course correct and treat fast decisions as a kind of asset and capability in their own right.”
“You don’t necessarily need to be that good at decision making if you get really good at remaking the decision when and as necessary…Instead, it’s all about the constant feedback and course and error correction. And I think that’s, as a general matter, a better model for life and that even a lot of the decisions that look pretty trapdoor may not necessarily be.”
