If you are stressing over making a difficult decision, consider putting the resolution to an extreme test. If you feel a total and utter conviction to do something (HELL YEAH!), then the answer is yes. Anything less gets a thumbs down.1
This simplifies your decision-making process and eliminates lingering stress. If you are concerned about trying this technique with a big decision, try it with a minor decision first and work your way up to the more important decisions as your confidence grows.
