Teams agonize over decisions as if every choice is permanent. Almost none are. There are two kinds of decisions: one-way doors (can't undo → quitting, firing, signing the big contract) and two-way doors (walk back through anytime → the tool, the format, the process tweak).
The unlock is that most decisions at work are two-way doors being debated like one-way doors. So when a meeting is stuck in week two of "evaluating options," ask:
"Is this reversible? If yes — can we pick one and revisit in two weeks?"
Save the agonizing for actual one-way doors; they're rarer than you think. Even “big” life decisions like moving countries seem irreversible, but they’re more reversible than you think. When a decision is truly irreversible, slow down and take more time than you think you’d ordinarily need.
