That's a lot to think about all before breakfast. Those are not examples of complicated decisions. In fact, we can usually make those choices without a list of pros and cons, or giving them too much thought.
早餐前要考慮的事情很多，這些不是復雜的決定。事實上，無需列出利弊清單或者想太多我們就做了選擇。

10 Steps to Simplify a Complicated Decision
10個步驟讓復雜的決定簡單化
Be debt free
1、不要欠債
Money will play into most of the choices you make. If you don't have debt, you can put less emphasis on the financial element of your decision.
你所做的大多數(shù)選擇都涉及金錢。如果不欠債，就能減少金錢因素的權重。
Don't ask everyone about what you should do.
2、不要挨個去問所有人你該怎么做
If you ask 5 people to give you their opinion, you will get 5 different answers. That input will lead to second guessing and confusion. Consult the people who will be directly affected by your decision and let everyone else know what you've decided, with confidence.
問5個人，你會得到5個不同的答案，這些會導致二次猜測和困擾。和受決定直接影響的人商量， 其他的人，只要信心滿滿的告訴他們“哥已經(jīng)這樣決定了”就行了
High/Low
3、高與低
What is the best thing and worst thing about each choice? Is the best thing worth putting up with the worst things?
每種選擇最好和最壞的結(jié)果是什么？ 最好的結(jié)果值得你去冒最壞的后果的風險嗎？
Call it
4、喚醒第六感覺
You may take time to actually make your decision, but when presented with the choice, your gut/heart/intuition or whatever it is that speaks to you, will give you an immediate answer. Write it down. That written answer could be the tie breaker.
也許真的做出決定要花費些時間，但當面對選擇時，你的勇氣/心靈/直覺或者其它什么會立即給你一個答案。把它記下來，也許就是關鍵。
Be grateful for the opportunity
5、心懷感激，因為你還能有的選
If you see your options as a burden instead of an opportunity, you may not choose wisely. Once you realize how fortunate you are to have the choice put in front of you, you can act accordingly.
如果把可以的選擇當做負擔而不是機會，你可能難以做出明智的選擇。 但當你意識到面前還有選擇是多么的幸運，你的行動也會同樣幸運。
Consider the escape clause.
6、考慮意外
What happens if you back out? Recognizing that something is reversible, makes it easier to take the leap.
如果取消行動會怎樣？確認一些事情是可逆的，跳過會更容易些。
Take the pressure off.
7、讓壓力走開
Chances are, this one choice you make is not going to save or ruin the world. Let go of the drama and consider the facts. Trust yourself. If you can't make a choice, go back to #4.
幸運的是，你做的選擇并不是去拯救或者毀滅世界。放開幻想，面對現(xiàn)實。相信自己。 如果不能做出選擇，回到第4步。
Consider option C.
8、考慮第三條道路
Often we put ourselves in a position of choosing A or B. Don't be afraid to create C. Things are not always either/or.
我們經(jīng)常讓自己在A和B之間做選擇。 勇敢的創(chuàng)造一個選項C吧，事情并不總是非此即彼的。
Rinse and repeat.
9、經(jīng)驗
Remember how you made your last great decision and do that again.
回想你的上次重大決定，再做一次。
Believe it.
10、相信自己的選擇
Once you make your choice, believe in it. Know that you made the right decision for that moment and move forward. Let go of the what ifs and make the best of your new opportunity.
一旦做了決定，相信它是對的。 明白你當時做了正確的決定并向前推進。讓“假如。。怎樣”滾開，在下一次選擇時力爭最好。
When considering a big decision, take your time and apply a few of the steps above. If you can keep it simple, you will have more clarity on the best way to move forward. Good luck simplifying your next complicated decision.
當考慮重大決定時，不要急躁，使用前面的一些步驟。 如果你能保持使抉擇簡單化，你就會越來越清楚前進的最好方法。 祝你在下次復雜決定時幸運。
