Why do smart people sometimes fail to make 'smart' decisions?
Have you ever noticed that some decisions, despite being thought out for a long time and gathering a lot of information, turn out to be worse than those made quickly? The issue may not be a lack of information, but rather a problem with the decision-making process itself.
Over-preparation can sometimes be a form of hidden procrastination. We tend to wait for a 'perfect moment' or the 'most comprehensive information', but just like in the market and in life, opportunities often change before you feel 'completely ready'. Waiting itself consumes your opportunity cost.
More critically, complex information, if not organized within a framework, can become a burden. When faced with dozens of indicators and countless opinions, the brain can easily fall into 'analysis paralysis', leading to either a hasty decision based on feelings or complete abandonment of action.
A practical suggestion is to set a 'deadline for information gathering' when making moderately important decisions (like an investment or choosing a learning course). For example, spend a maximum of two hours researching, and once the time is up, you must make a 'temporarily best' choice based on the information available and execute it. This can effectively cut off endless hesitation and promote a 'action-feedback-optimization' virtuous cycle.
Final thoughts: Many times, a decision that scores 70 but is executed quickly far surpasses a 90-point plan that lingers in your mind. Completion is greater than perfection.
