Simple, yet effective. The solution that automatically feels right if usually the best bet.

Make a pros and cons list
Weigh and rate your options to see which one is the best.

The 80/20 rule
Expect the right decision 80% of the time, and allow for some growth and learning when maybe a not so great decision was made 20% of the time.

Summarize each option
Be sure to include the outcomes!

Is it reversible?
Ask yourself if the answer is reversible if you decide it wasn't the best fit after all.
