When 51% is enough: Stuck in indecision? Your answer is closer than you think. Here's how to choose it...

Jan 30, 2025

You're a decision master. Your whole day is a series of choices, and you make so many with ease that you don't even register you're making them.

You decide not to hit snooze because you know you have an early case.
You snap on that seatbelt because the safety evidence is overwhelmingly clear.
You choose to park near the entrance because it's raining.

These may not even feel like "decisions" because they're so clear to you.
But somehow, we expect all decisions to feel this obvious, and when they don't, we can get stuck in indecision land.

When you're feeling stuck or overwhelmed by a decision, it's often because it's more of a "tie" between two choices. Here's the good news: there may not be a "right" answer, but there is a "your" right answer. Your right answer is simply the answer you choose.

Yet, in these moments of indecision, we often seek outside input—friends' opinions, Google searches—but the answer actually lies within you.

What if, instead of needing absolute certainty, you only had to decide that one choice was 51% more right for you? 

Hmm…what a relief?!

One of the nice things about medicine is that we're expected to change our minds. New evidence comes out. Guidelines get updated. Best practices evolve. If someone proudly announced they were still practicing exactly the way they learned twenty years ago because "that's how I've always done it," we'd all be a little concerned. So here's a question:When was the last time you updated the standard...

Almost two years ago, we sent our first Weekly Boost. We hoped it might make someone's Tuesday a little lighter. Today is our 100th Tuesday. One hundred little reminders that life doesn't have to be lived quite so hard. Over these past hundred Tuesdays, we've shared a lot of ideas. That peace isn't waiting at the end of the to do list.That feelings are messengers, not dictators.That validation ...
Promotion denied: The best news you didn't know you needed
One of the sneakiest ways we make life harder than it needs to be is by accidentally taking responsibility for jobs that were never ours.  And we’re not talking about doing our teenager’s laundry for them.  We're talking about emotional jobs. The invisible ones we assign ourselves without even realizing it.  We tell someone how we feel... then think it's our job to make sure they understand per...
