Do Both.

'There's an Icelandic artist called Dieter Roth who said something to me once which I thought was very clever. He said 'Faced with a choice, do both'. So if possible I try to, at least in thought, go through both possibilities and say 'Okay, if we did this, what would happen?' Or 'Let's do this and see what happens'. And then 'Let's do this other one and see what happens'. And usually....it becomes obvious which is the better option.'

- Brian Eno

A good decision making process allows us to do both … and many.

The process allows us to war game multiple decisions and outcomes

But wait. There’s more

We can review the decision consequences, learn from them, identify the step or steps in the process that had most influence on the outcome, and apply those lessons to our understanding of the world.

Thus one decision informs many.

The problem with most decisions is our many biases skewing us towards a predetermined outcome that blinds us to objectively following the process with a mind open to the better argument.

Faced with a choice- take the time to follow a process.

It may reveal other hidden choices.
