Even though human beings have amazing thinking powers, we really don’t like to think long and hard on anything. It takes a lot of effort to focus for longer than a few hours on a single decision, problem or issue. It’s not that we’re lazy, undisciplined or unmotivated, it’s just mentally exhausting to concentrate intently on one thing for too long.
Within the Decision Driven® Strategy and Life tools, I’ve tried to incorporate features that focus on simplicity and present decisions as “bite-sized” thinking tasks. My goal is to enable you to think through 90% of your decisions in less than one hour. Time-saving features include:
- Frame each decision for you as a simple question that demands an answer/solution
- Frame each decision with a “bite-sized” manageable scope to help you focus, focus, focus
- Provide you with ~10 proven criteria - the factors you should consider
- Simple drag-drop weighting of these criteria
- Simple drag-drop scoring of alternatives
- Simple graphics to help you compare the advantages/disadvantages of alternatives
- Ability to do quick first-pass through any decision by temporarily ignoring some criteria or alternatives
My goal is to help you make great decisions and make the thinking process fast, fun and easy. I’m still working on the fun part …
