There are so many ways to come for a final decision. I personally think before making a decision. I do not usually follow my heart. As an adult, we need to think twice or more before doing it. It is a way of being a level-headed person. Which do you follow when making decisions? What do you think or what you feel? Image Credit: cdn.lifehack.org

I'm very undecisive, so I usually discuss things with my wife

There is nothing wrong if you share it with your wife. I always believed with this phrase, 'Two heads are better than one.'

If anything, I tend to overthink decisions. But these days we don't necessarily have the time to take too long to think. So I try to strategize the best course of action (in which feelings are taken account for too) and go with it.

I sometimes use a technique using decision tree analysis. I will try to plot the problems and possible solutions.

@Shavkat Ah, do you make an actual chart? I suppose I do that - but just in my head . . . weighing out the pros and cons.

I try to look at all sides and ask others what they think, and try to make the best decision which very often is not the right decision.

I also think it will be great to ask others' opinions and decide after.

why not both? Wait for a moment before making a decision, process it with thought and decide with heart

It is possible. I am sure most women do this before deciding on something.

I read once that, if it's hard to make up your mind, make a decision one way or the other. If you feel disappointed, then you might have made the wrong decision.

It depends on the situation. There are circumstances where you need to use your mind and be calculative and those where you need to put your heart first even if won't benefit you tangibly.
