💪Make Better Decisions 💪

Make Better Decisions, According to my googling, this statement refers to everyone improving their decision-making skills through practice. Indeed, data shows that practice is proven to have a meaningful impact on thinking. Practicing more often, you’ll be more confident in your decisions and might even decide to try something new. However, it seems to me that there’s a lot of emphasis on practice, at the expense of other aspects.

Here are two arguments that I’ve heard that strengthen my conviction that it’s all about other aspects:

👉Practice is all you really need.
👉Practice shouldn’t be all you do.

“Everyone who studies a discipline better than he or she does the rest of life will eventually be better off than those who do nothing else.” 

— Kurt Lewin

In each case, the best-practice explanation most likely stems from a talent for decision-making — something many would claim any Harvard business school grad will have. The best-practice explanation for other aspects, however, could be from common sense. They may draw upon the experience of a wider set of skills; applying ideas from one discipline to another in a well-developed manner, or just deciding which characters are potentially the most valuable and acting to exploit them. For example, the better-known idea of a choice management approach takes the perspective of quantitative research, specifically studies with the goal of recording the success of a new product or market. However, there’s also an interesting method for decision-making — which I’ll refer to as Non-Research Method. The more choice methods you integrate, the higher your ability to think rationally.

What results is a different way of seeing something, as it relates to the uncertainty of what will happen in the future? In a sense, we find that an approach that is able to generate certainty can produce thought more easily. Hence, the big data approach is more flexible and therefore more affordable. Therefore, the better practice approach is rather broad, rather than narrower. The rationale may be as follows: If you can make an intuitive decision about a non-event, then making the best-practice approach takes into account a variety of additional knowledge that goes beyond the decision-making decisions that have already been made. As a result, you are able to process a decision more succinctly and logically than if a decision that necessitates a quantitative approach is in the works.
