Mastering Life’s Tough Choices: A Simple Tactic to Making the Right Decisions

I want to introduce and tell a bit more about a simple but super-powerful tactic that I have used multiple times in my life. This is my number one hack to overcome tough choices in life. Decision-making can be overwhelming, especially when there are many factors to consider. This can be used for various areas when choosing between two or more possible choices, such as:

• Deciding between apartments (so many different options)
• Deciding between workplaces (should I stay or should I go)
• Deciding between a laptop (which one should I buy)
• and more…

You might be familiar with PROS and CONS.

The pros and cons list helps in organizing thoughts, making the decision-making process less daunting. This method promotes critical thinking by requiring the evaluation of different aspects of a situation.

How to ‘PRO and CONS’?

Start with the first option and write all the good and bad things with bullet points. Then, do the same for other options. Leave some space after the bullet list to add more issues later. You can use different colors or (+) for signs for pros and ( — ) for cons to make it more visual.
