Day 341: On When Not to Make Important

Decisions

I’ve  found  that  it’s  a  good  rule  to  never  make  an  important  decision

when your emotions are in control. I try to program myself in advance to

remember this rule when I need it. When I’m in an emotional state (either

positive or negative), I try to keep just enough intellect working to tell me

one  thing:  don’t  decide  now.  I  wait  until  I’ve  relaxed  and  can  think  more

clearly.

—Harry Browne

 

342

If you want to greatly increase the chances of making a bad decision,

make  it  when  you’re  “under  the  influence”  of  strong  emotions  (either

negative or positive). The same is true in reverse: to make a good decision,

only do so when you’re in a neutral emotional state, relaxed enough to think

clearly and weigh all the pros and cons.

For example, I have a rule to never agree to make any big purchases

over the phone or in person without giving myself at least a day to think it

over. That way, I can think objectively about whether I really need to make

such a purchase, and if so, research whether I was given a good offer.

Establish a similar rule in your life and always wait before making any

big  decisions.  This  also  applies  to  setting  big  new  goals.  It’s  better  to  set

them when you’re in a neutral state of mind than when you’re pumped up,

because if you do so while being influenced by a temporary strong rush of

endorphins,  you’ll  probably  overestimate  your  abilities  and  set  goals  that

are beyond your reach.
