Hey Tumblr! Any tips on how to be more decisive?

I’m the master of indecision and it’s a horrible trait. I deliberate over the most meaningless options and of course get torn up about slightly more important decisions. I have as much difficulty deciding between two options as an infinite of them.

Please help and share your decision making tips?

  9. seppin said: it’s okay to make mistakes. if you quibble too much you miss out on life, so pick a path and follow it through. unless you’re in a crime ring or something, most decisions are not life-or-death. you’ll be okay.
