4. Have enough information.
Go and get the facts before you make a complex decision. By all means weigh up the pro’s and con’s so that you can get an understanding of what’s behind a choice. But be careful – there’s a huge difference between knowing enough to make a choice, and knowing everything to make a choice.
When you feel yourself pursuing every fact or every piece of information before you make a decision, stop yourself. Ask “What do I really need to know to make this decision?” and focus your efforts on getting the best information relatively quickly, rather than pursuing all of the information you could get your hands on given a longer period of time.
4.盡可能多地搜集信息
在你需要做一個復雜的決定前先去搜集足夠的數據。務必在所有支持和反對的兩面加以權衡，使你能清晰地了解選擇背后的分量。但是請小心，對某事足夠了解而做出決定和對某事完全了解而做出決定，兩者具有很大的不同。
當你感覺你在試圖尋找每一點事實或逐一排查信息來作出你的選擇時，請暫停。問一下自己“要作出這個選擇我真正需要知道的是什么？”相對于逐一地搜尋所有的信息，迅速且集中地找一些相對而言比較重要的數據將會省下很多時間。
