Assalamu alaykum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh. The one thing everyone on this planet has in common is the undeniable fact that we have all made our fair share of regrettable choices and decisions. Making sound decisions is a skill set that needs to be developed like any other.

At the end of the day, our lives are shaped and defined by our ability to make decisions of our careers, relationships, health, anything and everything about our present selves boils down to the decisions we've made in the past. Yet sadly, some of us struggle with decision making you see in decisiveness or being like a stick in the mud is a complete productivity killer. So insha Allah Allah in this video, I'm going to be sharing a few tips to help you make better and faster decisions. But before that, I would like to put forth a disclaimer, the decision making process is never ever easy. No matter how many tricks you have up your sleeve, you're bound to lose a little

bit of sleep over the big decisions are really big ones. But if you are really struggling, these tips will hopefully help make the process a little easier on yourself as you work through or navigate through all the possibilities.

Tip number one, limit the amount of information that you take in. Now I know it's a common idea that the more information you have the bit that the better decisions you can make. However, at some point, you cross the threshold where you have too much of information in regard to a subject and it actually works the other way around, leaving you overwhelmingly confused. This information comes in all forms, it might be the fact that you have done so much research about a topic that you have past the point of an educated decision. And now you're moved on to too much information. Or it might be that you sought out the advice of too many friends all of whom have given you different and varying

opinions. So now you have too much of information on the table, and you are making the decision making process way more difficult. It's one of those tricks that our brains put on us that's hard to counteract. So the best way around it is to avoid the point of information overload, where you have too many facts and opinions in front of you. And also instead of talking to several friends about it, keep the discussion I mean the discussion about your decision making just a few who have your best interests. Tip number two, focus on the present, we can often become very overwhelmed with the big picture trying to see how our decisions will affect the future. The process is primarily

mentally draining because you're trying to foresee every step along with every outcome. It's better to save the energy for the task at hand and simply try and make the best decision possible at that time. Make a decision based on what will make the next step. The easiest instead of doing this for every step is a great choice for the chronic non decision maker.

Tip number three set a deadline. Say for example, two minutes. And the idea behind this tip is to force action through a self imposed deadline. And it's so simple that that it is easy enough to incorporate any time you have to make a decision to set the timer and begin the process. That time limit forces you to quickly assess the pros and cons when while quickly coming to a decision. And if you are simply slow at making decisions, then this tip is a lifesaver. And by the way, it doesn't have to be two minutes, it can be anything from one to five minutes, five to 10 minutes. All of this should work as long as you have a deadline. Now moving on to the final tip which is Tip number four
