bad decisions.

Sometimes I look back and think, what on earth were I thinking about when I chose to do that.

But when I look around, it seems like I am not the only one with so many horrible choices.

The whole thing is really weird to me because for some reason You are naturally expected

to make good decisions.

If you are a normal person without any brain damages, you should be able to realize the

common sense.

But let's be honest, common sense isn't always so common.

It's only after you decide, you realize that you did you messed up.

You might do something dumb for various reasons, even your mood can affect your decision.

In fact, significantly.

We are never taught how to take better decisions, not in school, nor in college, even most of

our parents do not really teach us that and yet we are expected to make great decisions

all the time.

And the unfortunate part about it is that you are expected to make some of the most

important decisions of your life while you are still a little teenager.

I am definitely not the most qualified person to tell about how to take way better decisions,

but after analyzing my bad decisions, I have learned a few things that really helped me

to take better decisions later on.

Keep in mind that, Your life is basically the result of the decisions you have taken,

so its quite important to learn more about it.

You might not know that, but your brain uses more energy than any other organ in your body.

Primarily because it does the most important job which is thinking.

So what happens usually is that most people take a lot of unnecessarily decisions every

day and drain most of their brain energy and by the time you have to take an important

decision, your brain literally won't have enough energy to process every option properly

to take the right decision.

In fact, your brain will aim to choose the easiest option which often isn't the best.

And that's why common sense isn't always common.

If you would have thought about it in the morning when you just woke up, you probably

would have taken a completely different decision since your brain would be in its full capacity.

Of course, you can't suddenly get rid of day to day decisions but what you can do is to

automate them as I do.

Instead of choosing what to wear every time, I literally have only a few clothes in my

wardrobe that I wear usually.

Even if its a special occasion, I limit myself to only a couple of choices.

I eat in a few places all the time and choose from a narrow list of options that I have

made up.

Instead of thinking every time whether I should work now or take a break, I have a specific

schedule because it makes the whole process much easier, faster and more productive.

So that I can save my brain energy for far more important decisions.

And I never take an important decision late in the evening because I know that I have

already drained most of my brain resources and chances are that I will screw up are high.

So I just postpone it to the next morning.

Remember, The fewer decisions you take, the more quality decisions you make.

And be careful when you take someones advice.

People love to talk and express their opinions, but often their opinions aren't always in

your best interest.

I am not saying that you should be the arrogant guy who doesn't listen to anyone, however,

be somewhere in the middle because your friend who might want to help you might not be aware

of the everything that will affect your decision.

and don't let your preconceptions ruin your judgment.

I mean we all have some sort of opinions about everything, and usually, they do not reflect

the reality, so try to look to give every option a fresh look.

That will make you less bias.

anyways, thanks for watching and I will catch you guys in the next one.
