How to Put Off Making Decisions About Your Life

 

Everyone hates making decisions, especially ones that are important and determine the course of their future.
Thankfully, there's often no need to make such decisions.

 

Instead, you can simply put them off, often indefinitely. By shifting your life to autopilot, you'll be in good company, since many people prefer to let things come their way instead of making things happen.
To join this large and nebulous group, here are a few strategies that will help you defer making any real decisions.

 

• Apply for something. Whether a grant or scholarship application, some form of higher education, or some kind of competition, applying for anything is a great option for putting off real decisions. First, it takes care of the immediate problem of how to spend your free time and energy, and then it provides you with an extended time of waiting around to learn the results of your application.

• Applications usually require a lot of time and paperwork, with letters to beg for, various records to hunt down, and essays to carefully draft that will later be quickly skimmed by an assistant. You'll feel a sense of accomplishment from having submitted your application, even though nothing has actually been completed.

• Enter or re-enter formal education. Best combined with "apply for something," the choice to enter or re-enter formal education is great at slicing away years of your life, often at a time when you're best prepared to put them to good use. Professional schools or advanced degrees are especially useful options, since you'll have plenty of peers who are also delaying their decisions about life, and society in general will respect you for wasting your time in a scholarly manner. If you do it right, you can hide away in formal education for at least two years, sometimes longer.

• Adopt fatalism. Accept these phrases of the fatalist: "If it's meant to be, it will happen" and "Good things come to those who wait." Above all, do not believe that you can influence the reason why something happens, and do not believe that good things come to those who hustle.

• Pursue side projects. There's nothing like a good side project to keep you from what you should really be working on. In fact, an entire life can be composed of a series of side projects. Side projects are especially helpful at giving you a false sense of security and focus, thus obviating the need to think about what really matters. Go ahead, say yes to that thing that will distract you from your purpose. You can always return to reality later.

• Embrace ignorance. This choice is especially easy and common. When encountering a crossroads, determine that you don't care about the outcome and don't want to know which destination is best. Base all of your analysis of the situation on your existing beliefs without gathering more data. Ignore warning signs that you might be wrong, and accept that if you're scared of something, you shouldn't do it. (Note: this strategy will also help you in your beliefs about politics, religion, and people who think differently than you.)

• Ask everyone for advice. No need to think for yourself; ask everyone else to do it for you. For best results, signal your hesitation about the decision to the people of whom you ask advice. This way, they'll tell you what you want to hear: take your time, there's no hurry. You'll be happiest if you receive conflicting advice from your advisors, because you'll then feel more comfortable about waiting it out.

• Compare yourself to others. Instead of thinking about how everyone's situation is contextual and unique, look at people who are more successful than you and fall into despair over why you haven't achieved as much as them. Alternatively, look at people who are less successful than you, and console yourself that at least you're further along than them. As a bonus, choose to apply other people's definitions of success instead of determining your own.

• Decide to settle. Perhaps the most common strategy for life avoidance, "settling for what you have" is the best way to defer your potential, your possibility, and your dreams. Thinking ahead to a vague, undefined future is especially helpful: "I'll have more time for the things I want to do later."
• Opportunities to rationalize settling are both unique and limitless. You've done a lot already... why bother challenging yourself anymore? Stop and take it easy... you deserve it, champ.

 

All of these strategies will serve you well in your quest for passivity, for they all represent external factors that will make your decisions for you. This will then set you free from the burden of making them yourself. Never take matters into your own hands!

 

Always remember: there's plenty of time. No one ever dies young or unprepared. Ignore the 1,440 minutes available to you today, the changing of the seasons, the nagging sense that you could have done something more if you had made the effort.

Don't worry about the days flying by that you'll never see again.

If you mess it up, you can always do it all over. No pressure, no urgency. Right?

MANKIND TRACER'S PEACE, LOVE & BELIEF V - 60 SIM MEGA CONCERT

On November 6th - 12-2PM SLT (PDT) musician Mankind Tracer is planning the largest ever multi sim live concert event in Second Life's history across 60 different Sims. The event is confirmed to be featured in the Second Life Destination Guide! Last year at PLB IV they had 2500+ on the live stream across 52 sims!

http://secondlife.com/destination/mankind-tracer-s-peace-love-belief-v

*** 50% of all proceeds, either from venue participation, sponsors or residents' tips during the event will be donated to help fund research for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig's Disease.

The Les Turner ALS Research Laboratory at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, led by Teepu Siddique, MD, is focused on understanding the processes by which ALS develops so that effective treatments can be developed. Dr. Siddique and his team will be the beneficiaries of this event. ***
 
Mankind says, "The idea of Peace, Love & Belief is something I discovered and implemented in my own life and I always like to share it with attendees at my shows. I have been performing in Second Life now for almost 5 years and since I first started performing, I've closed all my shows with wishing everyone Peace, Love & Belief… "Peace in your minds, Love in your hearts and belief in the generosity and the goodness of the people that share the world with us."

"I firmly believe that the majority of the people in the world have good hearts. My late grandfather was a very wise man. When I was a kid, he used to tell us what seemed then as simple anecdotes. One of them he used to say was that "Niceness begets niceness." I think that what he meant was that if we can support each other, the other people who inhabit our floating sphere, and just be nice to each other, that the universe will return niceness to us. It's simply about balancing the equation. You know the old saying, one good turn deserves another. It's about balance in the universe. Good and evil…Up and down… Balance. So turn on your "Niceness Magnet" because when you live your life being kind, being nice… I believe you will attract niceness like a magnet and when you put niceness out there, the obvious reciprocal to balance this universal equation is niceness coming back to YOU!"

• ABOUT THE CONCERTS:

Over the past few years, Mankind Tracer, one of SL's most recognized live performer, has held his Peace, Love & Belief Concerts, with the last PLB IV event broadcast Live on Video and carried on 52 different sims.

After almost 5 years of performing in SL, Mankind Tracer has won many prestigious awards, performed countless charitable events for both large and personal causes and he has released 3 SL CD's which have seen tremendous success in SL. After almost 5 years of continual live performing in SL, his concerts are often still packed, with most being driven by audience requests and of course his wonderful original music.

PLB V will again be a Live Video Concert. The concert is planned to last for two straight hours. There will also be a live audio stream just in case residents don't have the ability to see video. Mankind will stream his live show across SL via the new "Stage Screen". This year, there will still be the Land Mark Board which, as with all previous PLB Events, will clearly display the names of all participating venues/sims/sponsors and each venue name and/or Sponsor Ad will be clickable to their respective LM's.

• ABOUT PEACE, LOVE & BELIEF:

The idea of Peace, Love & Belief is something Mankind Tracer offers all attendees at his shows and has been doing so for amost 5 years since he first started performing. In Mankind's own word's, "I wish you peace in your minds, love in your hearts and belief in the generosity and the goodness of the people that share the world with us." Millions of people have likely heard his message and his hopes are to spread this message even further.
