BUSINESS SKILLS TIPS 26 – PROCRASTINATION AND DECISION MAKING
In this session I am taking a rather different stance to the usual Decision Making theory. Usually I talk about making SMART decisions, where they should be specific and clearly stated, measurable, achievable, relevant and timed or time orientated. This time, I talk about how it feels to make a decision, how you can take the stress out of the process, and how you can end procrastination and decision making by creating an enjoyable experience.
No, this time I look at the role of the imagination and how one can use that to create an experience of an outcome before attempting to travel that distance, see how if feels, and if it feels right then one can extend the vision to take the decision further.
Crazy, you think? No, not crazy, just different. A mixture of business training and dreaming, maybe. More a case of using the experience and introducing emotion into the paradigm, pre-empting anxiety and stress and driving it away by trying on an outcome for size and practicing before making any decision. Tune in and listen as I explain, even take you through the process so that you could try it out yourself the next time you need to make decisions and end procrastination.
Of course I am very well versed in traditional decision making techniques, have used them for some 30 years and got very good results for my clients that way. I have also used psychological methods to achieve excellent outcomes too. So if you want to end procrastination and decision making situations, just try it out and let me know what you think.
