You can live the best life if you know how to make the right decisions, such as the appropriate attire for work interviews or what to do with your money. Making these decisions quickly and confident about your decision-making skills can help you save a lot of time and hassle.

Everyone can make improvements in their decision-making abilities. If you want to become a better decision maker, implement these nine habits of daily living into your life.

Be wary of your confidence in yourself

Your judgement can easily be skewed by overconfidence. Research consistently shows that people are more likely to underestimate their capabilities and also the accuracy of their knowledge.

Perhaps you are 100% certain you know the address of the office that you're visiting. Maybe you're even 80% certain you can convince your boss to give you a raise. If you're confident in those things, your plans are likely to fail.

Consider the risks you are taking

The habit of being familiar with your surroundings can lead to comfort. It's likely that you'll make poor choices due to the fact that you've become used to your habits , and you aren't thinking about the danger you're in or the harm you're creating. If you're making a choice that you want to do, you heads or tails.

You might, for example you speed up on your commute to work every day. You'll feel more comfortable speeding if you are able to work safely and avoid getting a speeding ticket. But , clearly, you're risking your safety and taking on a legal risk.

A Different Frame for Your Problems

The manner in which you ask the question or problem will determine how you'll answer and how you'll judge your odds of being successful. These facts are consistent. Studies show that those who are told that "10 percent of people are likely to die" believe their risk is higher. When faced with a difficult decision, think about how you think about it. Take a minute to think about how a slight change in wording affects how you view the problem.

Stop thinking about the problem

When you're faced with an uneasy decision, such as whether you should relocate to a different city or switch careers, you might spend a lot of time contemplating the pros and cons, or the possibility of rewards and risks.

While research shows that there is plenty of value in considering your options, overthinking your options can be a problem. In the process of weighing the pros and cons for too long could raise your stress levels until you struggle to make a decision.

Spend some time reflecting on your mistakes

You can look back on your mistakes, such as being caught without an umbrella leaving your home and getting wet while walking to work or whether you made a lot of impulse purchases.

It is a good habit to establish the habit of every day to look back at your decisions during the day. When your decisions don't turn out the way you want, think about what went wrong. Look for the lessons to be learned from every error you make.

Be aware of your shortcuts

It can be uncomfortable to admit that you're biased. It's not possible to be totally neutral. Your brain has developed mental shortcuts, referred to as heuristics that help you make decisions faster. And while these mental shortcuts prevent you from toiling for hours over every small decision you make, they may be a hindrance. If you're faced with a decision it's your toss a coin.

Talk to yourself like an Authentic Friend

If you're facing the decision of a lifetime Think about what you might say to someone else who is facing the same dilemma. You will likely find that you can answer your question more easily if you imagine yourself giving wisdom to another person.

Chatting with your self as a friend will remove some of the emotions from the decision. This will allow you to distance yourself from the decision, and provide you with an opportunity to be objective.
