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?!
A 51% decision can be your right decision, you just need to have your own back!

More time. More flexibility. More options. More resources. But abundance has a sneaky downside. When we believe we have all the time in the world, it's easy to put things off. We'll exercise when life settle...
The noise complaint: Loud and true are not the same thing
One of the weird things about being human is that our brains tend to confuse loud with important.     The loudest kid in the classroom.    The loudest person in the meeting.    The loudest comment on social media. We all know those aren't automatically the wisest voices in the room. Yet when it comes to our own thoughts, we often forget that. A thought shows up with a lot of energy behind it an...
We love an easy win: Here are ten of them
