Making decisions quickly can be tough.  For instance, when you see two alternatives that are appealing, it can be tough to choose only one of them.  Or you may have a fear from making the wrong decision, so it takes you a long time to settle on a decision.

An easy way to solve this problem is to put a time limit or deadline on your decisions.  This can be used for the simplest of decisions, such as what to eat for dinner, to more complex decisions, such as what kind of business to start.

By setting a time limit or deadline on your decisions, you avoid analysis paralysis.  And you'll save a lot of time.

Once you've made your decision, it's important to stick to it.  Otherwise, you'll defeat the purpose of setting a time limit in the first place.

How long of a time limit or deadline should you set?  It depends on how much thinking or research you have to do to make a good decision.  Set a time limit or deadline you think is reasonable.  And then stick to it.

If the decision you're making is what to eat for dinner, the time limit should be short.  You might set a time limit of 60 seconds.

But if the decision is more complicated, such as what house you should buy, set a deadline instead of a time limit.  Specify which date you should have made a decision.  Once the “decision day” comes, it's time to make your decision.  Even if you feel like you need more time and have a feeling of uncertainty about your decision, make your decision anyway.  Doing so will avoid analysis paralysis because the “perfect” decision will never come.
