The 5 Second Rule - Episode 8
Need to make a decision? Don’t overthink it — just count to five and decide.
The simple life hack coined by best-selling author Mel Robbins in her book “The 5 Second Rule” requires you to make a decision in five seconds.
The rule is easy: When an opportunity arises, don’t think about it — just count 5-4-3-2-1 and decide.
The technique helps you avoid procrastination and get over your fear of making a bad choice, according to Tim Denning, a 31-year-old entrepreneur in Australia.
“You’re going with your gut and your heart at the same time as opposed to using too much logic, which leads to overthinking,” Denning tells NBC News BETTER.
