Just curious. Mine has historically been to just ignore it until the last possible moment until I'm forced to make one on the fly. Hasn't served me all that well so far

It depends on the decision. If it's a buying decision then I get all the info I can about what I'm about to buy including going to as many forums as I can where they discuss the item so I can learn about the pros/cons. After that I post a thread like this and let one of you guys make up my mind for me

Continual cycle of agonize over it>put if off?>agonize over it>put it off.

In this world there are only two tragedies. One is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it.

I prefer to just jump in really. If I agonize over something too much I end up never pulling the trigger.

I usually run the numbers and figure out which way financially benefits me the most regardless of any other negatives.

Money fixes all other problems.

What if you have 2-3 directions to jump?

I usually just go with what sounds best immediately and see what happens. Seems to have worked out OK so far, but I have had some close calls.

Just go with your gut... But sleep on it a couple days after you decide.

Go with my heart.

I'm fairly decisive.

It's the small decisions, like where to eat lunch, that I agonize over.

Honest to God.

What course of actions is most likely to make me get laid?

This question plays into 99% of my decision making process.
