How To Be Decisive (The Ultimate Guide)

[@FlowCreators]

Thanks for the video Sam. Man is on a mission to cure overthinking and I'm here for it. 00:00 Decisiveness is crucial for quick learning, shaping one's world, and taking quick actions. 02:29 Being decisive leads to faster learning, success, and compounding benefits from speed. 06:49 Decisiveness is challenged by mimetic desire, external influence, and indecision inertia. 08:57 Decisive decision-making depends on recognizing the significance of decisions and exercising courage. 13:15 Decisions are made through a cycle of action, outcome, and reevaluation. 15:12 Being decisive involves evaluation and is influenced by state, beliefs, values, desires, and mental models. 19:03 Courage precedes mental clarity in decision-making. 20:57 High agency and momentum are pillars of decisive decision-making. 24:40 Low energy states cloud judgment and decision-making. 26:38 Maintain momentum and motivation even with low energy state 30:21 Reduce the size of the commitment to make it less daunting. 32:17 Consider if it's a two-way or one-way decision 36:04 Being decisive is important and challenging.

Thought provoking ✍️👍 Sam can you shed some light on which skills would be in most demand 5-10 from now apart from problem solving & communication skills at work ? Which kind of employees can make big success in service based career when times change.. is there a club of top 5% employees as some people say who always achieve more in terms of money than peers..

[@smatla]

Not sure I'm best suited to answer this, but I'll have a think about it

Great content but not sure who you're making this video for. I mean, neurotypical people are already aware of this and they do it as well. There is no knowing- doing gap with them. Its basically the non- neurotypicals (autistic, diagnosed with ADHD, dyslexia, anxiety etc) who have this knowing-doing ( unbale to make decisions ) issue and since these are genetic to large extent, these videos I'm not sure will be of any help to them. so again who is the audience here and if I come as rash please forgive me but its a genuine question.

[@smatla]

In my experience, a lot of neurotypical people DO have a knowing-doing gap. In fact, the majority of people do. Neurodivergent people may find it much more difficult to close that gap.

I for one found this very useful. It’s one think to understand and know it’s another to actually apply knowledge. It’s even yet another to apply in a systematic and deliberate way which is what I am looking for….basically a process. The book Thinking in bets was mentioned but part of that process is evaluation but for any useful learning I find it is helpful to have a consistent process . This video has helped in that respect.
