The article "Defining Your Decision" emphasizes the importance of clearly stating the decision you need to make before taking action. The key is to start your decision statement with words like "decide which" or "decide how" to focus your thinking on the values and options involved. It's crucial to make sure the decision statement is broad enough to cover all aspects of the decision. Be cautious about accepting decision statements from others without considering if it aligns with what you truly want to address.
