Making decisions, especially in business, can feel overwhelming, particularly when faced with complex challenges. It’s important to remember that some decisions are actually a series of smaller choices. If a decision feels too comprehensive, break it down into smaller, more manageable steps. For larger decisions, setting a 10-minute limit might feel rushed, so give yourself the right amount of time depending on the complexity - whether it’s 1 hour, 1 day, or even longer for more layered decisions. The key is to maintain momentum and avoid overthinking. Progress comes from taking action, one step at a time.
