Making decisions, big or small, can sometimes be difficult. We’ve all experienced indecisiveness. But you can get better at it with practice and time. Here are a few methods to try that may help you become more decisive.
Make decisions for yourself
Let things go
The fear that comes with worrying about making the “wrong” decisions can make one lose his common sense. Try not to worry about mistakes.
Talk it out
The simple act of speaking out loud will help lessen indecision and internal conflict.
Outline the pros and cons
If you get stuck, draft a simple pro-con(支持-反对)list.
Flip a coin
Of course, flipping(掷)a coin shouldn’t be used for big decisions, such as marriage. But this will work if it’s something as simple as what to order on the menu. This simple trick makes the decision for you. And, there are times when the coin lands the wrong way.

D.The important thing to remember is to write it down. |
E.Decision-making can have a negative impact on self-worth. |
F.Asking 10 people about one topic will only confuse you further. |
G.Then, your reaction will actually reveal what your stomach truly wants. |

The water bag method to drive flies away has many supporters So how does the method drive flies away?Some insist the flies regard the clear liquid as the surface of a body of water.Others think the insect flies away at the sight of its own big reflection.But the most popular reasoning that exists among scientists is light refraction(折射).
The insect’s fiead mostly consists of a pair of large complex eyes,each of which is made up of 3,000,to 6,000 simple eyes.These eyes can’t focus on objects like human eyes,instead they provide the fly with a mosaic(拼凑的)view of the world around them.A housefly bases its sense of direction on the sunlight.Some scientists believe that when these complex and sensitive eyes experience refracted light,the insect becomes confused and flies away.
Plenty of people don’t think water bags can keep flies away.Mike Stringham,a professor,conducted a 13-week field trial on two egg farms.He concluded those areas equipped with water bags actually experienced higher levels of housefly activity.Its purpose was to determine whether the water bags could be used to decrease fly populations on egg farms.
So do bags of water lower the number of houseflies around homes and restaurants? There are reasonable explanations that argue yes and strong evidence that proves no.Anyway,you can still find water bags hanging near restaurants and backyards across the globe.
