Going beyond pros and cons to get to the heart of tough decisions

  • Summary

  • Wrestling with a tough choice? Trying to weigh the pros and cons but going in circles? In this episode, I've got a systematic approach to decision-making that can bring some welcome clarity to complex choices.

    Whether you're standing at a personal or professional crossroads, or debating different solutions to a problem, this framework will help you understand both the rational and emotional elements of your decision-making process--helping you move forward with more clarity and confidence.

    Key Takeaways

    - Quantifying vague benefits or drawbacks ("more time" vs. "2 hours per week") can help clarify costs and benefits of different options.
    - We sometimes conflate past decisions with current ones, allowing unresolved feelings about previous choices to cloud our present decision-making.
    - What feels like indecision may sometimes be unprocessed emotions about what we'll need to let go of - even when we're clear about the right choice.
    - Resistance to a logically sound choice often signals important emotional considerations that need attention.
