#decisionmaking
Do you endlessly ponder your options, or can you make quick decisions? I’m 50/50.
3 weeks ago, fellow Creator Institute author Begoña Pinoinvited me to be a guest on her podcast. We had a fun, unscripted conversation about our books. Hers, “Join the Playful Revolution,” is about how play can make us happier & help creativity flourish. Mine, “Blogging on Instagram,” is about using Instagram as a rewarding & easy writing platform.✍️.
After I published my book last August, it was frustrating as Instagram announced lots of new features. When I had a chance to produce my hardbound version, I included some of them in a new Afterword . My book also has a dust jacket, so I had 2 extra panels for text. ⏳I spent time at @elliottbaybookco perusing business books for ideas.
I knew what to do but designers are the worst design clients, so it took many text & design tweaks before my hardback book was published last month by New Degree Press.
After a book is published, a new journey starts with the quest for guest blogging & podcast opportunities . I’m grateful to find generous folks who are willing to share their platforms with me. They give me a chance to reach new audiences.
Begoña is one of those people. ️ We’re both new at podcasts but had a great rapport. Toward the end she asked if I’m facing any problems that she could help solve?
I told her I need to decide what to do next? She created a simple decision matrix for me that I’m sharing above (swipe right). Now I just need to plug in the variables & see what surfaces♀️. When the podcast is live, you’ll see it in my Linktree.️ I hope you’ll give it a listen!
How do you make decisions? Do you toss a coin? Do you list pros & cons , or do you usually intuitively know what to do?

Who hates waiting? Double tap if you do!
Learning something new challenges you to be patient. You have this big goal in mind and know what you want to achieve.
But the gap between your ideal self and you today might seem bigger than the Grand Canyon to you.
I said it many times already - learning is a process which means there will be progress, there will be development and there will be growth. You just have to be patient.
Yes, it might be frustrating if things don’t turn out as you envisioned them right from the get-go. But that’s just the process and if you are willing and happy to embrace it all the results you are currently hoping for will become reality.
So, please, don’t beat yourself up. Don’t expect results right away. Be patient and wait. Because if you wait for something awesome to happen, waiting for it is actually not that bad.

Can you keep a secret?
▪️
▪️
▪️
There is no such thing as an overnight success.
▪️
Think of all the amazing athletes, superstars, and thought leaders of our time. I know it is hard to believe but no matter how brilliant and extraordinary they might appear to you - at a certain point in their life and careers they were beginners. Just like you and me.
▪️
Yes, some of them might have talent, skills, and a great idea. But all these gifts are worthless if you do not take action and allow yourself to be a beginner, to allow yourself to be the idiot, to simply fail.
▪️
Only if you fail you can learn. And only if you learn you can grow. And after growing comes success. But just like all those famous and brilliant people that you admire and follow you have to go through this entire process because there is no such thing as an overnight success. Success is developed over time.
▪️
What can you learn from successful people that went through this process before? What do they do to reach their full potential and become successful?
1️⃣ They start.
2️⃣ They keep going.
So when do you start becoming an over time success?

Who struggles with making decisions? Double tap if you do
Did you know that a person makes up to 35,000 decisions each and every day? To many of us, this does not only sound exhausting and overwhelming - it actually is.
Therefore, I want to help you out with a simple decision-making hack that really works especially if you are confronted with multiple options. Btw, you can try this immediately to figure out what you want to learn first during our #huddlechallenge2020.
Here’s the hack:
Imagine yourself a couple of years down the road. Among all these options that you have right in front of you today - which is the one that you would really regret not having taken when looking back in a few years’ time?
This is the option you should go for. This is a really simple and fast thought experiment but it is very effective.
Have you made your decision yet on what you want to learn in 2020? If not - now you know how to make this decision fast
