Choose Swiftly Over Slightly Better

Effective decision-making prioritizes speed over marginal improvements. When faced with two workable options, the time spent deliberating can diminish the overall effectiveness of either choice. A decision that can be made instantly significantly outweighs a slightly superior option delayed by a week. This principle suggests that making rapid choices—regardless of minor advantages—leads to better outcomes across a multitude of decisions, as the cumulative benefit of swift decision-making surpasses the incremental advantages of optimizing each choice.
