We all make various decisions every day. However, studies have shown that most people are much poorer at decision making than they think.

One of the biggest skills to acquire is effective decision making. The best decisions in life are usually made slowly, ultimately, with dedication, and are unwavering. If you can learn to do this in a well-considered way, then you can lead in anything, to spectacular and well-deserved success.

By definition, a decision is behind every truly great achievement anyone ever makes. The most successful people change their decisions slowly and they tend to make them quickly. They stick with the decisions they have made. Failures, on the other hand, are very slow to make any decision at all (most never make any), and they often change the ones they have made very rapidly indeed.

Decision making is a process of first diverging to explore the possibilities and then converging on a solution. The Latin root of the word decision means "to cut off from all alternatives". This is what you should do when you decide.

Now, I am not talking here about urgent patient decisions which, of course, is your best doctor skill. I am talking of those required to deal with staff, run a great office, et cetera.

An issue that often comes up in consulting is a doctor's self-imposed pressure to decide on a new direction or change in practice.

Bad decisions get made when one is not rested or when feeling stressed or challenged. If you dither or make poor decisions, you risk failure, and your time will probably be brutally short.

Using a few effective simple techniques will help produce better decisions. This is why time away, travel, et cetera is so very critical to growing your practice! A thriving practice must be built in your mind first!

If this sounds familiar, take time to do something totally different, fun, and happy this weekend. This will help your mind prepare for a lot of decision making.

You can go visit places that suits your taste in order to relax your mind. Usually, people choose to go to the beach or in any stress-free environment.

Meditate, unwind, and treat yourself to those pampering stuff. The important thing is to focus on the relaxation of the mind, body, and soul, so you would be prepared make decisions on every task.

Then you will be amazed at what a better decision maker you have become!
