4 ways to correctly and quickly decide: the square of Descartes
Our life is a constant succession of decision-making. They can be either minor or rather serious, which have a big impact on us, and lead to serious changes. A person constantly decides what to buy for lunch, where to go in the evening, what book to read, which university to go to, what profession to choose, how to earn a million, etc. And if the price of the issue is small, the solution is given to us easily and is adopted quickly, because the loss in case of an error will be small. But, the more serious the choice is, the more difficult it is to make it. In this case, the right decision can lead to great success or vice versa, can cause losses and failures. Therefore, it is very important to know how to make the right decision.
