Decision Model

My Decision Model

Goals

  1. Eliminate Decision Fatigue
  2. Increase Productivity

Strategies

  1. Offload routine decisions onto habits
  2. Offload non-routine decisions onto if/then rules
  3. Offload unclear decisions onto a timebox
  4. Evalute all other decisions via weighted matrix

Examples

  1. What should I eat for breakfast? (habit)
  2. What should I wear? (habit or if/then)
  3. Should I stop this person from interrupting? (if they interrupt N times then say something)
  4. Should I sell my house? (matrix)
  5. Should I quit my job? (matrix)
  6. I cannot decide X and it's dragging on. (set time limit, make best decision and move on)
