JFDI

When it comes to decision-making, there are various types of decisions we encounter in our professional lives:

  • Let’s postpone for next quarter,
  • We need to conduct an A/B test.
  • We should analyze the situation further,
  • Let's gather more feedback before deciding,
  • Let’s ask the customers,
  • This is a strategic decision,
  • We should not do it.

Today, I want to talk about a decision-making approach that I find myself using quite often:

JFDI.

Just fucking do it.

I first heard about this decision type from a former colleague named Jason, and it really resonated with me.

JFDI pattern:

  • Dead simple,
  • Valuable,
  • Important and urgent (the most obvious JFDI)
  • Important but not so urgent,
  • Unnecessary procrastination for various reasons.

I'm sure you've come across JFDI initiatives in your own work as well.

Ask yourself right now: Do I have any JFDI initiatives?

Just fucking do them.
