Decisions-Where People Get Stuck

Posted July 14th, 2008 by Leslie and filed in Organizing, simplicity

As I work with clients I often see that decision making is very hard for some people. I think there is a correlation between some major life event and a lack of decision making ability. For example, when a person has lived through a trauma of sorts, they actually have seen severe consequences occur for whatever reason and it makes them have a hard time making a decision. I have also noticed that when someone has been forced to take action when circumstances were out of there control, they sometime lose their decision making abilities in a long term way. Many hoarders simply don not make a decision about the “stuff” in their life…so it piles up. It is often helpful to make decisions in the presence of someone. It just “sures-up” your judgement and your confidence. Remember, Piles are just unmade decisions.
