The article discusses the challenges of decision-making under suboptimal conditions, where individuals often succumb to hasty choices fueled by stress and biases. It highlights that the assumption of doing one's best often falls short, leading to a cycle of negative emotions from past mistakes. To break this cycle and improve decision-making skills, individuals must slow down, reflect on their biases, and adopt a more thoughtful approach. The author outlines five steps to improve decision-making, emphasizing the importance of pausing to reassess rather than act impulsively under pressure.
When we let biases control our decision-making, we create a cycle of stress that undermines our ability to make sound choices in difficult circumstances.
To improve decision-making under stress, we must recognize our mental biases and deliberately slow down our thought process, avoiding hasty decisions.
