4. Opportunity Cost

Can you pursue your goal without sacrificing other factors of your life that are
important?

Creating and pursuing goals is a great practice, but we’ll never have enough time or energy to
accomplish every goal we’d like to set for ourselves. This forces us to prioritize and choose
the goals that are most important to us, then work hard towards them. Science shows our
chances of successfully achieving your goals increase when the opportunity costs are low.

5. Delay Time

Will your actions provide quick and recognizable results?

Chances are, the longer it takes for you to drive some result from the goal, the less likely
you’ll be to succeed. Consider the example of someone who wants to start their own
business. While they may be passionate about their idea and have a great market opportunity,
the risk of not get paid for several years can deter them from pursuing the dream. Even if
there is a bigger goal down the road, try to implement smaller, more attainable goals along
the way to continue fuelling your success.

Bandwidth Belief

Can you commit the time and focus to meet your goal or vision?
The perception that people “don’t have the time” to achieve their goals is one of the biggest
factors preventing people from getting started. If, from the outset, we believe that the goal is
going to take too much time to complete then it immediately becomes less appealing.
Achieving success is most likely when you have lots of time to devote to it, while goals that
you don’t have time for will often fail to materialize.

1. Staller – analysis paralysis

Taking too long to take action: perceived as blockers to progress; missing deadlines or
opportunities.

4. Doer – can’t delegate

Hording work and responsibility to the detriment of themselves and their team.

5. Avoider – conflict averse

Reluctant to face tough conversations and situations: creating challenging team dynamics.

Analysis paralysis

 Some of us “Satisfice.” These people select the first option that meets their need (or
pick an option that seems to address the most needs).
 Others “Maximize.” These people never settle for the available solution, but keep on
looking for other, better alternatives.

Of the two groups, maximizers are the ones prone to prolonging decision-making in the hope
of finding a better solution, offer, or deal, and who often suffer from analysis paralysis.

Soln To avoid analysis paralysis, differentiate decisions by importance, break them into
smaller steps, and put a healthy amount of pressure on yourself and your team to make a
decision.

Prioritising Treating all decisions as if they had the same impact on your work can lead to
analysis paralysis. As a first step, differentiate between decisions that require your immediate
attention and those you can act on later.
Determine the goal for eac

Often the reason for our inability to decide isn’t fear of failure or too much choice; sometimes
we just don’t know why we need to make that decision at all. In this case, defining goals for
making a decision will make it easier to pick from available alternatives.

For instance, imagine you need to choose between implementing a complex feature requiring
slow and tedious development process, and its less sophisticated alternative. You could begin
collecting and analyzing data to try and predict which one offers the best prospect for the
future. However, knowing that your goal is to ship the product as fast as possible, the “less
sophisticated” alternative becomes the smarter, more efficient choice.

Braking goal in to small Steps: Instead of trying to make a decision in one step, consider
breaking it into smaller actions.

Shifting attention from one big decision to set of smaller but easier-to-make ones can help
you make progress while free you from the paralysis of trying to make a big and significant
choice.

Forget Perfection

nless you’re making a life-altering decision, you don’t need to demand perfection.
Sometimes, picking a “good-enough” decision is the best decision.

Every decision you make will have its downsides. Don’t let this fact keep you from moving
forward.

Put (Healthy) Pressure On Yourself or Your Team

you’re one of the people who work better under pressure, enforce a deadline by which you
must make the decision.

If your team is involved, schedule a final meeting to discuss the issue. Make it clear that
you’ll schedule no other sessions relating to it, and have at it. Sometimes a pressure-cooker is
exactly what’s needed (just remember to bring
