I once read a book called Decisive by Dan Heath and realized... We suck at making decisions.

Just look at these numbers:

• 44% of lawyers would not recommend a young person become a lawyer.

• More than half of teachers quit their jobs within four years.

• In 2009, an estimated 61,535 tattoos were reversed in the U.S. alone.

Yeah… Not good.

But the good news is that the authors gave us a formula for making better decisions — and I wanted to share it with you.

1. Widen Your Options (don’t get stuck with just A or B)
   → Example: Instead of asking “Should I quit my job?”, ask “How can I redesign my current role and explore a side project first?”

2. Reality-Test Your Assumptions (don’t just believe your gut)
   → Example: Before launching a product, talk to five potential customers and ask if they’d actually pay for it.

3. Attain Distance Before Deciding (don’t decide in the heat of the moment)
   → Example: Give yourself 24 hours before saying yes to a big offer or opportunity.

4. Prepare to Be Wrong (make failure less scary)
   → Example: Set a clear “tripwire” — “If this investment loses 20%, I’ll re-evaluate.”

Use it. Save it. And start making better decisions.

Life update:

Okay, you’re gonna start laughing 😂 but I sweeeeeear too much is happening right now.

I started working with a new client and might be signing another one soon. On top of that, I’m still doing all the outreach I used to do… so yeah, fully booked calendar.

My mind is tired and my body misses nature and movement, so I´ll do a lot of that this weekend 🌿.

(That and one business meeting this weekend. But hey, life is like that sometimes ✨)

Sending you happy vibes and hope to see you with a rested mind next week ❤️
