Decision Making
📋 What it is
Good decisions weigh the options, the likely results, and your values — instead of just going with the first impulse.
🗣️ Coach says
A good decision isn’t luck — it’s a small process: list the options, think through what each would lead to, check it against what you care about, then choose. Even a two-minute version of this beats going with your first impulse.
🧠 Memory hook
List options → think through results → check your values → choose.
