Hold That Thought

This week I've been thinking about decision-making. Here are three things on that theme to turn mental energy into meaningful action:

1. Ditch your pro-con list; try this method instead. I've turned my Best of Both Worlds article into a free template in the Miroverse! Give it a try and then let's hop on a free call to chat about it.
   ​
2. “Procrastination is often seen as a vice, but procrastinating on possible distractions means I end up completing more projects. Some of those “someday” projects will make it into reality, but many will be forgotten about entirely as they turned out to be momentary impulses.” — Should I Quit? Four key questions to ask yourself, from Scott H. Young
   ​
3. Maybe the pressing question for you right now is a much smaller one. Like, Should I Go To The Meeting? Four key questions to help you decide, from Adam Grant

For this week's underthinking link, here's a neat random word generator​

Extra thoughts…

I've helped countless people through decisions, big and small. One of the most memorable of recent months was supporting Catherine Marchant, CEO of Impact Family Services.

She is leading an incredible initiative to raise awareness about the impact of domestic abuse and what strategies and actions employers can take.

A few months ago, she had a critical strategy decision to make about how to roll out a new program — all progress was blocked until she had the clarity and confidence to take the organisation in the best possible direction.

In a one-hour session, we talked through the Best of Both Worlds approach. She gained the clarity she needed around the 45-minute mark. We used the next 15 minutes to take things even further.

In her words:

— Catherine Marchant, CEO of Impact Family Services

If you are at a crossroads or are contemplating a new life path, I'd love to support you in exploring what it really could mean to choose. Let's chat!​
