Developing good judgement is a skill that takes time and practice to master. But it's definitely worth the effort. It not only helps you make better decisions in your personal life but also in your career. So if you're serious about honing your judgement, here are some tips for developing it:

1. Be quiet more and talk less.

One of the most important things you can do to develop good judgement is to be quiet more and talk less.

Silence is a gift that allows you to listen, think, and observe. When you're quiet, you give yourself time to fully understand what's happening around you in the moment.

Talking too much is a sign of insecurity and immaturity (which can be endearing at times). Also talking too much often prevents us from learning new things or seeing things differently because we never get a chance to listen or reflect on what other people are saying or doing around us.

So make it a habit not only to speak less but also to ask questions instead of giving answers all the time (even if they're wrong), which will help others feel comfortable speaking up as well!

You should always remember: don't compare yourself with others; everyone has their own path in life so just follow yours without comparing yourself against others who seem "better" than you at any given thing because their lives may not have been easy either!

2. Don’t commit to things you can’t stand behind 100%.

Don’t commit to things you can’t stand behind 100%.

The best way to avoid bad decisions is to first make sure that your good ones are based on a solid foundation. It's essential that you have a clear understanding of what you're getting into, and if there are any potential risks involved—and I mean serious ones—before saying yes or no.

If someone asks for your help on something that isn't really in line with who you are as a person, but they've convinced themselves otherwise, don't be afraid to say no! The last thing anyone wants is for their reputation (or worse yet, their bank account) get flushed down the toilet because they were expected to make a commitment they couldn't stand behind 100%. You might also consider asking why this particular task was so important before committing yourself entirely; sometimes people just want an excuse not do anything themselves!

3. Learn from your mistakes (and the mistakes of others).

Your mistakes are a great way to learn. If you make the same mistake twice, that’s OK! As long as you’re not making the same mistake over and over again, then learning from your mistakes is important in developing good judgement.

You shouldn’t be afraid to ask for help when you need it either. It is better to look stupid in front of one person than an entire team of people (or worse—your boss). If something isn’t going right in your work environment or class, don't be afraid to seek out help from someone else who knows more about what's going on than you do!

But most importantly—don't be afraid to admit when things aren't going well; this shows maturity and self-awareness on your part which can lead directly to developing good judgement skills later down the road once everyone finds out about what happened but decided not to mention anything publically yet because they know how hard life has been lately with everything happening so quickly here at the home base since moving from location A into B last month when trying our bests as always even though sometimes it doesn't go exactly according . . .

4. Admit when you don’t know something.

Admitting when you don’t know something is a difficult thing for many people to do, but it’s an extremely important part of developing good judgement. You need to be honest with yourself about your knowledge and expertise in a given area, and then make sure that you are asking the right questions of the right people.

You also don’t want to pretend that you know things when in reality you do not. This can lead to some embarrassing situations where others see through your facade and realize that yes, this person does not actually have any idea what they are talking about!

Finally, if someone else admits they don't know something—or they're wrong—don't take it personally! It just means they're human too (and probably doesn't even mean anything bad).

5. Stop comparing yourself to others.

It's a waste of time to compare yourself to others. You can't control what other people do, and you never know what circumstances are at play in their lives. Instead of worrying about what they're doing, focus on your own goals and accomplishments.

6. Know when to help, and when to step back.

Don't step in unless you are sure you can help. If someone is struggling with a problem and seem to be making progress, resist the urge to jump in with a solution. Instead, ask questions that will help them come up with their own answers.

Don't be afraid to ask questions.

Don't try to fix everything yourself.

And, if someone asks for your help and your gut tells you not to say yes—listen! Don”t take on more than what fits into your schedule or responsibilities. If something doesn't fit into those boundaries, don't push yourself out of them just because someone else needs something from you.

7. Never assume anything about anyone, including yourself.

It's easy to make assumptions about other people—we all do it from time to time. But when you make an assumption about someone else, you're more likely to be wrong than right, and then you'll have to deal with the consequences of whatever actions your assumption led you to take. Furthermore, when we make assumptions about ourselves (or let others make these assumptions for us), it can lead us down a path of self-doubt or even self-loathing that makes life far less enjoyable than it could be!

So don't let yourself think things like: "They must not like me," "They must think I'm stupid," "I know they want me dead," etc., because those thoughts aren't based on reality at all—they're just flights of fancy fueled by anger or fear or some other emotion which clouds our judgment and leads us down paths that only cause harm in our lives

8. Get an outside perspective on situations that are important to you – but only if you trust their judgement!

Don't be afraid to ask for help. It’s okay not to know everything, and asking questions is a sign of self-awareness and intelligence.

Don't be afraid to admit when you don't know something! As long as it isn't something that might put someone in danger or cause them harm, a good "I have no idea" response will earn you some respect and make people more willing to work with you in the future

9. Keep your eyes open and be present in the moment at all times (because you never know what you might learn).

  • Be present at the moment at all times.

  • Keep your eyes open and be aware of what is going on around you.

  • Don't be afraid to ask questions or make mistakes.

Remember that there are always multiple ways to view any given situation - from personal experience I've found it helpful if I try not to focus on other people's actions too deeply (since it will lead you down a rabbit hole of “but why did they do that?!”) Instead take some time for yourself before making any snap decisions about them!
