Decision making refers to making choices among alternative courses of action—which may also include inaction. There are 4 key components when it comes to decision making. The four components are Rational, Bounded Rationality, Intuitive, and Creative. You can use one or more of these key components your first stage during a decision-making process. The process of making a decision based on ones' personal feelings becomes a factor as well.
Deciding if I would turn in my school work on time or procrastinate became a decision that I made. I used every rationale possible to justify my actions but to no avail, all roads led to being punctual. My intuitive mind was perplexed as I sat aimlessly in front of the computer, and then the television. Task avoidance became more apparent as the day became night. Many thoughts of anxiety crossed my mind as I still sat front and center of my TV. My criteria for my decisions weighed heavily on my mind. Should keep on watching TV? or finish and turn in all of my assignments on the day they were due? My choices were receiving a bad grade or completing my homework in a timely manner. Only one of those alternatives were good.
I finally made my decision to complete my assignments and turn them on time. What a euphoric feeling when I finally made my decision to meet my deadline that was at hand. In hindsight, I am happy with my decision that I made. Procrastination is never a wise decision, it will come back to haunt you someday.
We always want to make the right decision either for a postive outcome or a negative. Making wrong decision comes with a price. God says that all things are possible. If we allow him to take control and not our own.
