All those points are good ones she makes. However another problem is I notice for me is that as I get older and time becomes less and less that the pressure to make the right decision the first time grows. So the room to fix mistakes deminishes if a wrong choice is made, so taking chances gets more difficult. How does one put in perspective the continual loss of time. I am middle aged. We only have one life to live. If that life is wasted how can you face death at the end.

I like the way you think. I know for me that I agonize over every little decision, and it makes me realize that life would be so much simpler if I’d just decide to go with my first instincts. I’ve been reading this really cool book by Bob and Melinda Blanchard about making life changes and nothing really gets done until you make a decision first.

I have often thought along these lines but have never explored it enough to give my self help to move on- I usually use the words ”unsure” what to do with it so generally end up doing nothing but keeping it – I will have to work on this area this week-

I found you through MommyFest. Even though it’s long over, I’m still reading blogs, meeting others and enjoying the blogs I’m finding.

I love your post. I’m huge on making decisions. Every day, we get to decide so many things. I tell my kids quite often “choose again”. Not every choice will be the perfect choice, so choose again. Awesome blog post.

What a great post – this pretty much describes me perfectly… I know that I am a perfectionist, and that I struggle with making the “right” decision. I agonize over everything… even what I should order off the menu if we go out for dinner! I know this is the biggest reason I procrastinate… and that I need to just get in there and take action. I’m slowly getting my life in order, but there are still some big things that I am putting off.

I will try to keep this post in my mind tomorrow, maybe it will give me the encouragement I need to tackle some things on my to-do list.

Thanks,
Alissa
