We make a lot of decisions. Most of them don’t really matter.
90% of the decisions we make are reversible or two-way doors. Taking that decision is like going through a door with the option of coming back if you don’t like the other side. e.g.
-
Starting a side-project
-
Experimenting with pricing
-
Choosing topics to write on
You don’t need to spend a lot of time pondering these decisions. You can take them quickly knowing that you can course-correct along the way.
The other kind of decisions are one-way doors. e.g.
-
Placing a manufacturing order
-
Selling a company
-
Quitting your job
Either these are impossible to reverse or have serious repercussions. These are the ones that make or break us.
