How to make good decisions quickly?

Here are some strategies shared by experts to help you make good decisions quickly:

1. Emphasize Decisiveness: Reid Hoffman and Chris Yeh from the Greymatter stress the importance of decisiveness, particularly in the high-pressure world of entrepreneurship. Instead of overthinking or seeking excessive comfort, focus on improving decision-making as a critical skill 1.

2. Rely on Training and Intuition: According to Jocko Willink and Dick Thompson on the Jocko Podcast, stress can affect decision-making negatively. To counter this, train extensively so that the correct response becomes intuitive, especially in high-stakes situations 2.

3. Iterative and Immediate Decisions: In uncertain or dynamic environments, making small, quick decisions and learning from the feedback is vital. Iterative decision-making can help improve decisiveness and adaptability 3.
