i procrastinate a lot and can fall back on the not making a decision at all path even though i know as you said that is actually a decision in itself. when i do have a hard decision to make i will often make it based entirely on objective criteria i.e. the pros and cons and logically what is the best alternative to take but then when ive made the decision i look at the emotional reaction i have about it. does making that decision give me that gut feeling of ugh or do i feel a little bit of relief or excitment? does it bring up a feeling of panic etc etc. based on the feeling im getting i can often tell if ive made an appropriate decision for the moment. whether its 'right' or 'wrong' doesnt really matter once ive made the best decision i can at the time. then i choose to accept my decision and deal with whatever consequences are going to follow in the best way i can.
thats on good days! and i really wish i could have more of those! lol.
thanks for getting me thinking about this.
