Decide whether each choice needs to be fast or best before evaluating options. For decisions where speed matters more, define an acceptable threshold and act once an option clears it rather than letting perfectionism extend the search.
Without an explicit decision goal, founders can waste scarce time optimizing choices that only need to be good enough. Matching the process to the goal improves focus and preserves effort for decisions where quality truly matters.
For your next decision, write down: “Does this need to be fast or best?” Then set either a deadline and minimum acceptable criteria, or a higher standard and the additional evidence worth gathering.
