Decisi🧐n·ize

simplify decision making in 3 easy steps

  1. 1. Choices- What you're deciding between
  2. 2. Pros & Cons- What you stand to gain/lose and by how much
  3. 3. Affect- What affect your choices have on your pros & cons

The Goal

To discover which choice returns the highest net value.

Background

The idea for this originated when I made the odd-ball choice to change careers from animator to software developer. Facing many options, I needed a way to elicit the total value I would receive from each. After some thought, I ended up making a spreadsheet with the steps above and used the numbers to tally the scores.

The idea was simple, but I hadn't heard anybody describe their own decision making process in these terms before. Surely, people must make decisions like this intuitively, but when I asked around, many hadn't considered how they make decisions at all.

Since it worked so well for me, I made this to teach the concepts and be an easy way to share results.
