Open-source psychological tool for stronger mental health, 29k, releases a new report called, “How to Improve Decision Making?” The report details simple and powerful ways a person can make better decisions in less time.
—
The new report was written by 29k’s chief psychologist, Jenny Rickardsson, and discusses why a lot of people struggle with making decisions. Despite common perceptions, most people are not lazy with decision-making. Instead, a lot of individuals tend to choose the easiest, fastest solution due to the evolutionary predisposition for survival.

This explains why some people fail the “marshmallow test” – the psychological assessment for delayed gratification. According to the new report, a person may struggle with delayed gratification because he or she may instinctively want to claim all resources before they run out. While this evolutionary response was necessary in prehistoric times, this knee-jerk reaction may cause a person to make ill-informed decisions in today’s world.
In 29k’s report, Rickardsson encourages readers to control their emotions when making decisions, especially those that concern money or relationships. The easiest way to do this is to allow one’s values to guide the decision-making process.
“Values are a much more reliable source of information than emotions, thoughts, and experiences,” writes Rickardsson. “The latter come and go in waves, while values can serve as guides over a longer period of time. Also, values can help us confront situations that might bring up difficult emotions – if doing so serves a valued purpose.”
Aside from using values to dictate one’s decision-making process, the report also emphasizes the importance of creating habits. Habits can help a person make better decisions about their life, particularly for their health. For example, people who want to improve their fitness routine can start building habits such as doing push-ups after brushing their teeth.
Eventually, these decisions run on “autopilot” and the person begins making healthier decisions about their lives each day.
