Your life will be defined not by the situation or circumstances that you find yourself in, but with your choices and decisions. Therefore, you need to evaluate whether or not your decision-making skills are reliable and accurate. Everything in your life is all about making decisions, whether it pertains to your personal life, social life, relationships, career, or other matters. You definitely need to learn how to assess and evaluate everything in order to come up with the best decision. 

Unfortunately, there are those who really cannot choose among the many options presented before them. Even if you have access to various data or can get several pieces of advice, it would still be difficult to arrive at a wise decision. Especially when you need to make a huge decision in a very short span of time, it would be quite impossible to think of something that would be beneficial to you and to others who will be affected by your choice. 

It is not really impossible to arrive at a great decision even if one is pressed for time. You just need to clear your head and evaluate all the options at hand to make the right one. If you are one of those people who really cannot make a decision as quickly as the others, you should start by setting up a deadline for yourself. For instance, you can come up with a 10 minute or 15 minute rule to process everything on hand. This way, you will not be wasting a lot of time just weighing the different options by dragging it for days or weeks. Setting up a time limit does not mean that you are also running yourself short on options or forcing yourself to come up with a decision quickly. You should think of it as a way to quickly assess all the pros and cons before you make a choice. 

When it comes to setting up a deadline, most people just really want to delay making that big decision that they would rather forget about it for a couple of days. But if you think about it, you are just delaying the inevitable. You have to be brave enough to make a decision for yourself, even if it means making that decision a bit early. This way, you will be able to come up with a plan B just in case your decision does not work the way that you want it to. 

Also, it helps not to overanalyze everything when it comes to making a decision. You also need to limit your approach so as not to think of every variable that will not really have a huge impact in your decision. While it is important to consider all the possible options, stick to the main issue as much as possible.
