Indecisiveness cures....?

Below is a cool excerpt from Hagakure (The Book of the Samurai) regarding decision making:
"In the words of the ancients, one should make his decisions within the space of seven breaths. Lord Takandobu said, "If discrimination is long, it will spoil." Lord Naoshige said, "When matters are done leisurely, seven out of ten will turn out badly. A warrior is a person who does things quickly.

When your mind is going hither and thither, discrimination will never be brought to a conclusion. With an intense, fresh and undelaying spirit, one will make his judgments within the space of seven breaths. It is a matter of being determined and having the spirit to break right through to the other side."


Anyone have any tips on how to prevent indecisiveness?


Making all decisions in 7 breaths or less would definitely save me time!

    To understand your situation. What you're doing and why. What you're looking to get out of it...know what's going on.

    And to practice fast action...Make the best choice you can as quickly as you can...make it a game...it's cool if you mess up!! We all make mistakes. The real question is...how do you want to make them?

    those together should cure it...or you could buy a book about it...the art of critical decision making is one I think
