Why BAD Decisions Are BAD

Why BAD Decisions Are BAD

Yessssirrrs, a BAD DECISION is all you need to ruin your day.  That too starts the minute you wake up in the morning and you hit the snooze button.  You begin scrolling like a robot and there you go, you're about to ruin your next 24 hours.  NOT in a bag-bang way BUT slowly you are going to tuin every single hour.  That's how that vicious cycle works [and misfires].  So WHERE does our productivity goals for the day go?  So, Why BAD Decisions Are BAD?  Is it that HARD to actually NOT make BAD decisions?  Is it that HARD?  Nope, NOT THAT HARD.  NOT hitting the snooze button.  NOT touching unhealthy food.  NOT wasting time on movie binges📗📙📘

Seriously, it actually feels HARDER to stay in this rut.  Sadly, many people tend to confuse productivity with complex concepts.  To quote the oft-quoted one-liner from Former U.S. President Bill Clinton, KEEP IT SIMPLE [k-i-s-s].  Make GOOD decisions and your productivity WON'T be impacted, period.  So when is a BAD day indeed a BAD day?  It is WHEN you have to hit the RESET button.  True, we all have bad days.  And at times it starts right after you wake up, one foul-up after another leads to a bigger foul-up. BUT letting your energy flow away that too with deliberate choices is complete nonsense [I'll call it stupidity] and just because you're having a BAD day DOESN'T mean you have to watch hours of Netflix OR eat like it's your last meal OR just be a 'lazy dog' the whole day❓❓❓

A GOOD sleep.  A few minutes of meditation.  Time with your loved ones.  Healthy foods.  And some real, genuine reflection on your current life.  That's the long and short of life's simple recipe to get back ON TRACK.  It's true we make BAD choices, BAD decisions, at times because our life sucks.  At times, we seem bored with our daily life.  LIke NO adventure.  NOTHING exciting.  NOTHING else but a monotonous life.  That's BAD💥💥💥

Oh Oh, we all need to get back into that BIG TENT realization that people make thousands of decisions each day and every day, some are quite BIG ones, some are SMALL decisions.  And while of those choices do turn out great, chances are that NOT every decision you make will be a good one.  In my basic understanding of statistics, that's the law of probabilities applied in real life.  And WHEN you look back, you may wonder WHY you made those decisions, particularly the ones that turned out poorly OR led to feelings of regret.  BUT remember many factors come into play before choices are made and at times, it is NOT that easy❎❎❎

Our takeaway:  While it goes saying that you will probably continue to make BAD decisions from time to time, you can gain a deeper understanding of the process behind these sometimes irrational choices.  Understanding how these processes work and influence your thinking may help you to make better decisions in the future.  And at times even mental shortcuts may come into the picture.  So, if you had to think through every possible scenario for every possible decision, you probably WOULDN'T get much done in a day. At the end of the day, it boils down to us going BACK TO BASICS, arriving at informed decisions instead of off-the-cuff ones especially WHEN and WHERE emotions get into the way.  WHY BAD DECISIONS ARE BAD!@#$%?
