May 20: Apply the 70% Rule

Perfect information is rarely worth the wait.

Waiting for perfect information creates costly delays. For reversible decisions, having sufficient information to make a reasonable choice is better than waiting for complete certainty.

Take Action: When faced with a decision today, ask yourself: "Do I have at least 70% of the information I need?" If yes, make the decision rather than delaying for more data. Note how this affects your decision speed and outcomes.
