Define your choices. Write them down, if that helps.

Eliminate the choices you don't want anything to do with immediately.

Weigh the benefits and issues with each choice. If it helps, create a numerical points system using several different variables (long-term advantage, 1-5; ease of implementation, 1-5; et cetera).

List the choices from best to worst, based on your numerical analysis.

(For people who don't make their choices based purely on logic)
If you're unhappy with this list, go with the one you wanted to see at the top.



THIS, everyone, is how you come to a decision in a (mostly) logical fashion. I've had approximately one million people come to me for advice on silly little things that they are AGONIZING OVER, this week, AND I'M DONE LISTENING ABOUT THAT GUY YOU WANT TO ASK OUT.

ASK HIM OUT OR DON'T.

SO I'M WRITING THIS ON SEVERAL NOTECARDS AND HANDING THEM TO MY DECISION-MAKING-HANDICAPPED FRIENDS.



ANYONE HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT?

I think I may steal your idea and just print tons of business sized cards to keep on me and hand out as needed at any given moment for any given question. You my dear unicorn, are a f-ing genius.

So, um, like, I was thinking about writing things down like you suggested, but I was wondering if you think I should use a blue pen, or a black pen. Or maybe a pencil? Black is supposed to be slimming, right? But pencils are erasable.... anyway, let me know what you think! :D

Poor you. I feel your pain and I apologise for being a decision-making-handicap too when it comes to certain things. I'm looking forward to the day my friends to that to me too. Maybe it is soon.
