How do you make decisions each day? in other words, what influences your decision-making process?

When making decisions i usually consult others first and see what they think about it, making sure that i talk to experienced people that know what to do in these situations. My parents influence my decisions a lot because of what they taught me. I usually dwell on what i know and what i have been told, then make a rational decision based on that knowledge. We cant always make the right decision, but having the right procedures help us make them often.
