Listen "Satisficing Decisions"
Episode Synopsis
What if “good enough” was actually the best possible outcome? As we wrap up our Decisions Series, we explore “satisficing decisions”—low-stakes choices that feel important but don’t really change the course of our lives. Things like picking a vacation spot or trying a new hairstyle may feel daunting, but in reality, they have minimal long-term impact. We dive into why these decisions feel more serious than they are and share practical strategies to help you make a choice with confidence, preserve your mental energy, and focus on the decisions that truly matter.Chapter Markers:0:00 - Satisficing Decisions: Big questions, little impact1:14 - Characteristics of satisficing decisions4:13 - The psychology behind satisficing 5:11 - Strategies to overcome satisficing6:43 - Conclusion and resourcesLinksFREE Download: Decisions Quadrant ToolDecision Shift Guide and Workbook
