Problems with Quick Decisions I am usually a slow decision-maker. Maybeyou know someone like me: I like to try on everything, and then maybe buynothing. However, last summer, I made two quick decisions. The results taught mequick decision-making doesn't always mean good decision-making. My first decision, to buy a used laptop,led to problems with money. I had always wanted an IBM. So, when I saw an adfor a used one, I went to look at it. I shouldn't have gone. As soon as I sawit, I fell in love, and didn't care how much it cost. I used up my savings. My second decision, to find a room-mate,brought even more financial problems. After I bought the laptop, I neededsomeone to help pay the rent. I posted an ad and several people called. Ididn't interview all of them and accepted the first one in a hurry. What's worse,I didn't ask him to sign an agreement. The guy moved out two months later,without paying his rent. I used to think I was too slow in making decisions. But now I believe it's worththe time it takes. What did the author learn from his decision-making?
