Practical guide
Stuck Making a Decision? Sort the Decision Before Solving It
Untangle criteria, fear, constraints, and missing information before comparing options.
Name the actual choice
Write the two available actions, not broad identities or imagined futures.
List the constraint
A deadline, budget, location, or commitment may narrow the choice.
Find the missing information
Ask what evidence would genuinely change your view.
Choose a next action
Gather one piece of information or run one reversible test.
