Every day counts; it is a microcosm of your whole life.
Waking up is decisive, and sleeping is the interest of death.
Awareness will push you forward and help to correct detours.
if one is perfect in decision making then he never fails in life long goals and objectives. Decision making shapes life of himself as well as the people around him/her.
The decisions we make every second, every day, are the best predictors of the turnout of our life course, whether to succeed or fail
- Dickson Adom
Decision making operation results accumulated over time is a clear indicator separating successes from failures. It doesn't matter what's the reason for postponing or delaying the decision making process - a lack of knowledge, information, education, money, and resources, or just a chronic procrastination. It affects all levels of human work!
Dear Dr. Mahesh Kumar , it is an interesting issue. For me decision making is a key step in running ones life properly. Decision making might make some one successful or else might lead to lose ones life if fail to do so. So, in every fraction of seconds, we are making a number of decision from minute to very big decision, though it is very difficult to quantify properly. Therefor, it is advisable to do ones level best decision making activities in every time during ones life time.
Decision we make today has a lasting effect upon our life in the near future. We should always take our time in making critical decisions about our life issues like family, career, religion, where to live among others. Also, we can always pray for God's guidance and direction in the process of our decision making.
Thank you.
Up to what extent the 'decision making' in day to day activities affects ones life?
We are living in a world govern by certain laws - one of them is cause & effect or action & reaction. So what we decide / do will impact our outcome (sometimes the outcome is not just one-off but rather series of outcomes & decisions). We don't have all the information / time to collect all the information to make a decision, hence do our best to make the best decision & hope for the best outcome desired. At the same time we also need to be adaptive & reflect on what we'd gone through & chart-out a better decision next time.
It affects every aspect of our daily life. At every second, we make decisions that have lasting effect on our life.
One's life is greatly influenced by the decisions one makes about various aspects of everyday life problems. Decision making process involves making choices about a particular problem by gathering information and assessing alternative resolutions. The majority of the decisions made by individuals tend to be made without engaging the systematic thought and critical thinking skills. However, those who utilize relevant information mindfully usually make more deliberate, thoughtful decisions by organizing relevant information systematically and by considering the alternative solutions critically and intelligently.
Sometimes things are not very clear to make a right decision, so I think that decision making needs support from the God.
I desire NO choices. I desire NO decision making. I desire more time asleep than awake. If you have choices to make, your life is just too complicated--SIMPLIFY!
There's just so much time to be saved by understanding so very few matters actually require a decision, if properly understood. Even fewer actually require a decision from YOU! Step well back and see what the outcome is without your input. Can you live with it? Very probably. Learn from that fact!

8 Factors You Really Need to Consider Before You Make Any Big Decision
1. Rationality
First, run this decision through the rational, analytical part of your brain. Make a list of the pros and cons of your options. If you’re making a decision about whether to take a new job, for example, you might list “more money” as a pro and “less time at home” as a con.
2. Intuition
When you find yourself wavering between multiple options, your intuition is one of your most powerful decision-making tools. To hone in on your gut feeling, stop for a moment and don’t think about anything else. Simply sit in a quiet place for a few minutes and reflect on the decision. What feelings bubble up? Happy ones? Or the heebie-jeebies?
3. Relationships
Whether you’re married or single, have kids or don’t have kids, live by yourself or with six roommates, your decisions affect the people closest to you. To help you weigh the decision you’re about to make, think about how the decision would affect those around you.
For example, would the new job mean less time at home with your partner? Or would it mean your husband could quit his job because of the pay increase?
4. Alignment
You want any decision you make to be aligned with your passions, values, and priorities—or I guarantee it’s not going to feel like you made the right choice. But before you can figure out if the decision is in alignment with the things that mean the most to you, you first need to get clear about what those passions, values, and priorities are. Then, make a list of all the ways your decision aligns (or doesn’t align) with them.
5. Counsel
You’re clear about how your decision will affect other people in your life. But what do those same people think about how the decision you’re about to make will affect you? Talk to your partner, family, friends, colleagues, and mentors about your options. What do they think?
6. Negative Drivers
A lot of times, people make decisions based on fear. Maybe you’re afraid you’re not ever going to find a job you’re really thrilled about, so you take the one you feel less passionate about because you already have the job offer in hand—it’s a sure thing. Or, maybe you’re afraid no one is going to sign up for your company’s first conference, so you postpone it a year.
What fears are playing into your decision? You don’t have to solve for them all right now, but understanding how your fears are affecting your decisionswill help you evaluate your options more objectively.
7. Cost
While money may not be the ultimate driver in many decisions, it’s an important factor to consider. How does your decision affect your finances? What resources will you need to execute on your decision? What would this decision cost in terms of time?
For example, if you’re the founder of a business and you’re deciding whether or not to introduce a new product to the marketplace, how much would it cost to build the product? Would you need to hire a team of one or 10? How much of your own time would you need to devote to successfully getting the product built and out into the world?
8. Risk and Reward
Finally, think about the risks associated with your options. What’s the safest decision? What’s the riskiest one? Are there any steps you could take to minimize the risk of that option? And then, on the other side, what are the potential rewards of each option? Sometimes the extra risk is worth the reward.
It’s really hard to slow down when you’re used to doing things at a million miles an hour. To make sure you actually give yourself the space to work through your options with these considerations, I suggest giving yourself a deadline to make your decision by. That way, the nagging part of your brain—and anyone waiting on your decision, like a potential employer—will know there’s a decision date in sight, giving yourself the time to explore your options and pick the best, truest one.

Any work we do needs to be studied and decided before we do, and making decisions every day and sometimes every hour provides protection against mistakes, especially if our decisions come after studying all the circumstances and factors that can affect them.
Our lives and work are all the result of our decisions and we are responsible for this decision so we always have to think about the consequences of any decision we make and its impact on us and on others.
Some people have to make far-reaching decisions several times a day; for example, leading politicians or - even better - stock exchange traders. Such people are no stranger to stress. The majority of people do not have to make really relevant decisions quite as often. Decision-making to a certain extent,with leaving time for other activities - this is motivating because such decisions always involve some uncertainty and risk. People who are very poor have to decide every day what to live on, how to feed their families, where to sleep. These are not real decisions, but a daily struggle for survival.
I cannot agree with Hein I'm afraid. People who get stressed should NOT take up roles as professional decision-makers! Either they must love decision-making, or find it challenging in ways they enjoy. A successful professional decision-maker will know when no decision is actually needed, and avoid making one!
Ask yourself if you'd want to be undergoing life saving surgery with a surgeon who makes quick decisions, or one who seeks opinions from others in the room although s/he's supposed to be the expert?? The right answer is neither. You want the one that makes the CORRECT quick decisions!
Professional decision-makers will learn from any wrong decisions they may make, but be able to move on from their wrongness very, very quickly!

Though it is rather tempting to say that decisions we make every day cumulatively affects our life, alters our destiny if you will, the decisions we make on certain days inalterably decides who we are. I think, therefore I am, can be changed to, I decide, which makes what I am. On certain occasions, as Prof.Nock says, one must also know when to leave matters alone.
Q: “Making everyday decisions makes life good or bad of someone in day to day life”, R: depends about what kind of decisions. You take the decision to quit of smoking sure will affect your mind but will benefit your health – bad and good outputs.
In professional decisions i studied that effect in these articles:

Every decision taken is an integral consequence of the way our lives appear. It is as soon/regular as the decision is taken.
Dear Mahesh, I am surprised by your question since every moment any action you undertake needs the decision to be done beforehand.

The decision-making process depends on the experience, practice and skills gained from the study.
Our ability to make a decision is the accumulation and integration of our goals, desires, dreams, knowledge and wisdom that we have gained with the age process, and we are quick to make any decision that may be spontaneous and seemingly ill-conceived and sometimes obscure, but it is intuitive to summarize our lives,The result is our convictions and our choices.
Making effective and sound decisions is an art that is learned through life experience.
When making a decision, determine how your choice will impact your life. You must still bear in mind that when you are surrounded by people who rely on you, every decision you make affects them as well.
The key to making better decisions is to educate yourself and make certain that you are fully informed about the contributing factors.
Decisions under the influence of bad mood make heavy losses and negative results.
Decision-making is strongly related to the problem; decision-making is often done only with a problem; problems are the motivator and the engine for decision-making. Some psychologists see that there is a similarity between problem solving and decision making; both require high thinking skills, Analysis, induction, and extrapolation.
Interesting question and very good answers and comments from all contributors
In unstable countries people's lives are affected by their circumstances. Usually, people need to make some decisions on a daily basis as a result of circumstances that might force a person to change decisions made the day before, which makes the lives of these people very unstable .
Indeed, but in more stable countries decisions made years ago can come back and ruin lives. Here in the UK, the big one at the moment is private pensions. These might have been started decades ago, but have been mismanaged by companies, or the rules have been changed, and they just won't deliver what it was believed they would. This has left plenty to struggle in old age.
Hoping I don't sound to glib in my comparison, but perhaps regular reassessment of day-to-day decisions makes a person more resilient than a big one off disaster like the loss of a decent pension?
I remember reading many, many years ago about a people who sold their beds every morning in case they wouldn't need them that night! A long, long string of bad decisions followed at the end by a profoundly correct one--provided they died before bed time!

Decision taking is performed after preparing and evaluating different alternative options.
All of us perform it everyday at least a few times on different subjects.
Out education and experience assist us to select one option from many alternatives as a DECISION.
Decision making and achieving them affect our lives for good or bad, like taking or rejecting advice. Day to day decisions give character and reputation, also affects how we see people and how people see us. Moreso, it affects ones health.

Only when you make the right decisions. Unfortunately decisions must be made before the results of that decision are known. If the results of a decision turn up positive, well and fine. If the results turn up negative. too bad
i think, every day, every hour, every minute, we need to take decisions withe respect to something or other! I believe it affects our life, then the people surrounding us. Sometimes wise decisions may not be appreciated but in the long run, they turn out to be right!
I can honestly say that I can't remember the last time I made a decision. My life runs and is run rather like a conversation I had with a student some years ago. He was trying to decide which of two universities he should enrol at for his PhD studies. The conversation went something like this:
1. Which one has the best reputation for helping students in your area of study? Answer: their both pretty similar.
2. Which one would you like to attend? Answer: I have no real favourite.
3. What are they offering you financially? Answer: one has offered the full package, the other nothing.
4. Do you have enough money to fund yourself? Answer: no.
5. Then there's no real decision to be made here is there? Answer: no.
He went off to where should. Later he thanked me for showing him just how easy "difficult" questions can be.
Clarity of mind is the key, I'm thinking!

Decision making determine the nature of man. So man is a product of the decision he or she makes at every moment of life.
This has all gotten a wee bit concerning! A lot of contributors are suggesting that decision making is a defining feature of truely human beings. I wonder where that leaves people like me? It is our view that finding ways to minimise decision making is a core gift of the human intellect!
Are we of different "species"? Or is one of us not quite human? That's an awful and fearful question, and we probably shouldn't even try to answer it! But it is there if you look hard enough at what we've done here....

It doesn't matter which side of the fence you get off on sometimes. What matters most is getting off. You cannot make progress without making decisions.
- Jim Rohn
It is hard to imagine a more stupid or more dangerous way of making decisions than by putting those decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong.
- Thomas Sowell
When making a decision of minor importance, I have always found it advantageous to consider all the pros and cons. In vital matters, however, such as the choice of a mate or a profession, the decision should come from the unconscious, from somewhere within ourselves. In the important decisions of personal life, we should be governed, I think, by the deep inner needs of our nature.
- Sigmund Freud
i think we have to be sharp in our decision, but of course after detailed analysis for problems and challenges. day to day decisions are part of our strategies and long term goals which determine our needs and values.
