You've got to look at all of the different options that you have when you're making a decision To see where it's going to go. Then you want to calculate the half-life of Decisions Alright now I took this pattern from chemistry, right? This isn't even I'd never heard anyone else use it in the in the context of decision making But I borrowed that pattern and used to hear so in chemistry you talk about a half- life of something like caffeine. So If every day I wake up and I think what am I gonna wear today? What is the half-size of that decision? It's 24 hours.

Are you indecisive? Struggle to make fast decisions? History of poor choices? Put things off? Resort to "other peoples thinking" or following the crowd? We are the sum of our choices. Where you are in life right now, your current situation, it's nobodies doing but your own. It's the sum total of every decision you've ever made. We are our choices.
