The sentence sounds like startup advice. It is decision architecture.

Most postponement hides behind the need for more data. One more meeting. One more round of feedback. One more week to see if the thing resolves itself. The frame is careful deliberation. The structure is risk transfer. You are not reducing the chance of a bad outcome. You are reducing the chance anyone blames you for the outcome.

The math is backwards. The project that has been "under review" for three months costs more than the project you tried and killed in two weeks. The hire you delayed for clarity costs more than the hire you made and let go. Not in dollar terms — in opportunity cost. The thing you did not do cannot be learned from. The thing you tried badly can be fixed or abandoned with new information. Doing nothing compounds at negative interest.

Run the inventory. How many decisions in the last sixty days are still "pending" because you are waiting for certainty that will not arrive? The approval you are seeking. The conversation you are avoiding. The vendor you should fire. The reframe is simple: wrong is recoverable, stuck is not.

So today: pick one decision you have postponed for clarity and make the call. Not because you are certain. Because the cost of staying here is higher than the cost of being correctable.
