Show Notes: Richard's message is to stop saying the word "Whatever" because you come across as a slacker. You also are not making a decision and every decision matters even the small ones. When you are faced with a decision – make it. Research shows that the decision you would make in the first few minutes is usually also the decision you would make 2 weeks later so go ahead and make the decision instead of delaying. Gut decisions are okay as long as you a very familiar with a topic. You can also use pros and cons or an algorithm such as if this then that. Do not let your emotions be a part of your decision-making. Be self-aware of your feelings. You need to clarify your intentions. If you have the clarification it makes your decisions easier. Sometimes, it can be very efficient to make the same decision.
