Day 146: On Decision Avoidance

I saw myself sitting in the crotch of this fig tree, starving to death, just

because  I  couldn’t  make  up  my  mind  which  of  the  figs  I  would  choose.  I

wanted each and every one of them, but choosing one meant losing all the

rest, and, as I sat there, unable to decide, the figs began to wrinkle and go

black, and, one by one, they plopped to the ground at my feet.

—Sylvia Plath

 

141

Not  making  a  decision  is  also  a  decision,  and  usually  the  worst  one.

While you’re torn between one choice and another, you’re losing time you

could  have  spent  taking  action  —  any  action  —  and  then  figuring  out

whether it was the right choice or not.

People  often  decide  to  not  decide,  or  they  put  off  their  decisions

because of a fear of missing out. Choosing one thing means not choosing

another. However, not choosing either of them means losing both.

It’s  also  tempting  to  avoid  making  a  decision  because  it  creates  an

illusion that you still have the freedom to choose. And while it’s true that

you do retain this freedom, there’s more freedom in commitment, as it frees

you from inertia and gets you closer to determining where you want to go.

If you’re hesitant about whether you want to pursue a certain goal or

not,  figure  out  a  low-investment  way  to  get  started.  You  can’t  get  much

additional insight by waiting for an excessive period of time, while you can

gain  an  immense  amount  of  knowledge  by  going  ahead  and  testing  the

waters.
