There are several reasons why people struggle with decision making:
- Lack of information: Decision making requires accurate and relevant information. The lack of necessary information to make informed decisions is the biggest source of indecision.
- Cognitive biases: Cognitive biases can impact decision making by causing people to make choices based on preconceived notions or flawed assumptions. This is the biggest enemy when it comes to decision making.
- Emotional state: People’s emotions can influence decision making by clouding their judgment or causing them to prioritize short-term satisfaction over long-term benefits.
- Complexity: Some decisions are inherently complex and require a lot of analysis and evaluation. People may struggle with decision making when they are faced with complicated choices.
- Fear of failure: People may struggle with decision making if they are afraid of making the wrong choice or failing. This fear can lead to indecision or avoidance of making a decision altogether.
- Lack of experience: Decision making can be a skill that is developed over time. People who lack experience in decision making may struggle initially.
