Far more frequently … the life-enhancing route is to think of decisions not as things that come along, but as things to go hunting for.*
Oliver Burkeman

What happens because of what happens next?**
Alex McManus

Not all decisions are equal –
Some carry a five exclamation-mark (!!!!!)
risk score whilst
others hardly register one.

What are some of your best decisions? –
I’m guessing these are !!!!!:
your life-partner?, the work you do? –
And when you look more closely,
are they actually multiple decisions within a strategy? –
To find someone to share life with and work at it?,
To create work you love that makes a difference despite resistance?

Decisions are great for getting us
moving, but it’s unlikely that one decision will
get us to where we want to be, so
better to conceive of a series of decisions.

Are you in? –
Careful how you answer.

Good process leads to good outcomes.^
