Decision making-When a person is not sure and does not clearly understand what they are seeing and if the information that they are processing is accurate then they should get opinions from outside trusted sources. If outside trusted sources are not available and a decision has to be made, then the best trusted source is your intuition. However you must train your intuition to have the correct amount of confidence and caution before making a significant decision and make sure that your perception of the different inputs are all accurate. If you do not need to make a decision immediately and you are not certain about which option to take or about the outcome of your decision, then do not make a decision. Important point is that many times intentionally not making a decision is an action and is a decision in and of itself.

In the book

Two warnings ride alongside that. First: not deciding is itself a decision, and often a wise one — inaction is a real and legitimate choice. Second: do not let "gathering information" curdle into analysis paralysis, where the fence becomes its own prison. […] If it's good, small, and reversible, decide instantly; otherwise, slow down. Then ask: must I decide now? If yes, trust your trained gut; if no, gather and wait — but avoid paralysis, and remember that not deciding is itself a decision. Weigh it honestly. Run the costs, benefits, alternatives, and worst case — can I get back here? — and ask whether it will matter in five years. — Decisions & Choices (Decision/Choice/Focus/Forethought/Consequences)
