When do you decide to do something? How long does it take?

The truth is you decide to do something in an instant, a ‘now‘, but you probably spend hours/days/weeks or longer reaching that decision.

By not making a decision straight away you are actually making a decision anyway, just without realising it - one to delay making the decision until later, until the ‘right’ now. Then you have a drawn out decision process with yourself where you argue in your mind about whether now is the right time or not.

Finally, the right ‘now’ comes along and you make the final decision, click, in the time it takes to click your fingers the decision is made - now has arrived.

So the next time you are dragging your feet over a decision, stop, make it now.

Like most things in life it will seem easier looking back after the event, and you will realise you were waiting for the wrong now anyway, and could have decided much sooner.
