Making Decisions and Monitoring in Drug Rehab

March 22nd, 2008 by Terry Keith

Many of us have life in reverse.  We spend far too long deciding what to do.  Followed by far to little montoring after the decision.  Nobody has a crystal ball.  Nobody can predict the future.  At the very best maybe you can be right 60% of the time, but for most of us, it is far lower than that.  Probably 50% is a more reasonable figure.  About the odds of flipping a coin. 

Since we truly have a bad time guessing the future, why not take an easier route?  Assume a lot of your decisions will be wrong.  Then it becomes a game of finding the bad decisions, rather than guessing the unpredicatable.  The key is in monitoring decisions.  This lies in clearly defining the objectives of any choice you make.  Objectives are simply clear results linked to a specific timeline.  This can greatly speed up the time spent on a decision.  Many times it is better to do something and see if it is right, rather than spend endless days guessing about what is the right thing to do.
