Day 27: What Good Decision-Makers Do Differently

“Good” decision-makers don’t have perfect foresight – they have better habits, better questions, and better discipline.

THINGS TO CONSIDER

KEY INSIGHT: Great decision-makers aren’t smarter – they’re more systematic. They’ve turned good decision-making into a habit, not a hope. The best part? These habits work at any scale, from daily choices to life-changing decisions. Start with one habit and watch how it transforms not just your decisions, but your confidence in making them.
PERSONAL REFLECTION: Think of the last really good decision you made. What did you do in that moment that you don’t always do? What would happen if you made that your standard approach?

TODAY’S EXERCISE:

Choose one habit to practice this week:

• Take 24 hours before saying yes to the next request

• Ask “What am I missing?” before your next important choice

• Find someone to challenge your thinking on a decision you’re facing

• Review one past decision (good or bad) and extract one lesson

Pick the one that feels most doable right now. Small changes in how you decide create massive changes in what you achieve.
