Making decisions

Decision-making is about finding the path. 
Looking at risks and benefits makes the path obvious. 
Julian Moses Photography, April 2020

                           Every day, we make decisions. Many times, these are made quickly: 
we don’t have time; we’ve always done it this way; 
our friends or family have counseled us and made a recommendation; …
Taking our awareness up a notch includes 
making decisions more consciously, more responsibly.
How?
I asked a professional pilot, my brother, which information they need to collect in the cockpit to make a decision. His airline uses a formula: FORDEC.
F – facts
O – options
R – risks/benefits
D – decision
E – execution
C – check
If the last one doesn’t “check out,” re-start at the top. This is a wonderful opportunity to re-boot, re-consider, re-do. There is no penalty – only more learning.
This morning, I tried it on a very small decision.
Fact: I want to move
Options: Yoga or running
Risks/benefits: no risks, benefits yoga: more flexibility and more, running: exchange of oxygen and more
Decision: running
Execution: prepare (don’t forget the watch)
Check: ready to go and excited.

 Try it yourself - enjoy : )
