Perfect data rarely exists before big decisions.
How comfortable are you deciding with incomplete info? What’s your framework?
To avoid procrastination, steps for confidently moving forward:
🔸 SET EVAL DEADLINES. Avoid loss of momentum.
🔸 FOCUS ON DESIRED OUTCOMES. Many routes to the same destination.
🔸 IMPACT OF YOUR DECISION? Articulate expected outcomes simply.
🔸 KEY RISKS? Don’t agonise over everything — focus on mitigating a couple material risks.
🔸 TRUST YOUR JUDGEMENT. Uncertainty is guaranteed without 100% info, which you’ll never have.
Over-analysis causes doubt, delay, and missed opportunities. Simple frameworks speed decisions. What’s your framework?
