We all face big decisions in life. And a big problem is often that we fail to make them. We put them off or decide not to decide even when those decisions can have a major impact on your life. Making a decision isn’t just about which choice to make, it is also about the timing of when you make it and how you implement your decision. Here with some great advice on the topic is Dr. Neil Shortland. He is a leading expert on military decision making and has worked with the Department for Defense and National Institute for Justice. He has also served as an international expert on security and has been an expert witness on court cases involving decision making. Neil is author of the book Decision Time: How to Make the Choices Your Life Depends On (https://amzn.to/3Ef7fPc). Whether or not you get a good night’s sleep can depend on your sleep environment.
