Have you ever counted how many decisions you make in one day? from the outfit you will wear, the food you want to eat, what tasks will you prioritize, when is it time for you to check social media, reply to chat, and much more. Research has shown that person makes about 2,000 decisions every waking hour.

We often associate with something big when we hear the word “decision”. In fact, there are many minor decisions that we take in a day, and most of them we make instinctively or automatically. Someone who is picky usually needs more consideration when deciding even for small things. But in my opinion, we all must have at least 1 aspect that makes us very selective when making decisions. For example, there is someone who is more simple with outfits but is very choosy when choosing a place to eat or vice versa.

Regret for making the wrong decision hurts, I’ve felt it and it took a long time to let it go.
