The Impact of Time Pressure on Decision Making

We all make decisions every day. In fact, some studies show that an average person makes 33,000 to 35,000 decisions each day.

If we compare making decisions with and without time pressure, there will be a lot of differences, because when making decisions freely, you have a lot of time to think about the possible outcomes, the consequences and its all options and make a list of all of them, along with the pros and cons of each, also how it can affect you and other people. But in case of making decisions with time pressure, your brain has to adapt and think very fast, and still try to think about the things that could happen after. So considering that, most of the time, decisions made quickly often aren’t as careful and can be less accurate.

While time pressure can lead to rushed decisions, it’s also possible to train yourself to make quicker decisions easily. I can take for an example chess players, who have to make a decision where to put their pieces in a limited time. In work and daily life, people can use methods like prioritizing, critical thinking, and decision-making tools to make faster, better choices.
