A compass needle shakes before it settles. Give your decisions a second to stop wobbling.

Uncertainty at the start of a decision is not a sign you are bad at deciding. First reactions oscillate, swinging between yes and no while new information settles, and mistaking the wobble for the answer is how people commit to whichever side they happened to be on at that second. The settling takes a little time and almost no effort.

For anything that matters this week, put a gap between the question and your reply: an hour for small things, a night for bigger ones. Tell people you will come back to them. The answer is usually clearer by then.
