Decisiveness vs.  Procrastination


Discussed by Community Affairs Office, September 29, 2003

 

The ability to recognize key factors and finalize difficult decisions

 

Rewards of Decisiveness

 

Success

Obtaining wise counsel from many before finalizing a decision will ensure its success.

 

Confidence

Procrastination of decision making often results in confusion and wasted time; when families base decisions on previous commitments, they will have greater confidence in their decisions.

 

Decisiveness in the home includes:

 

*Firmly establishing the family commitment to good character by forming habits based on desired qualities

*Discussing with each other the decisions that need to be finalized to avoid making rash choices based on the impulse of the moment

*Making decisions based on a commitment to character vs. popular opinion

*Keeping each other accountable to not procrastinate
