50/50 Decision HACK....
First, ask yourself is this truly 50/50? Some decisions are, in which case flip a coin. Other times you have your foot on the scale.
Be honest with yourself to explore how much bias you have on this issue. If it's significant, it's now easy to go the other way.
The key is to recognize your bias and factor it into the process, rather than imagining you have no bias.
How to turn your tough 5050 decisions in the Easy 7025 decisions First, you need to realize most 5050 decisions aren't that. They seem like they're 5050 decisions because you have bias. All of us have bias on every single issue. You're never going to eradicate it. You're never going to get rid of it, but you need to be able to identify it and factor it in. Think about the next time you're thinking this is truly a 5050 decision. Going left and going right are equally advantageous. You know they have equal pluses and minuses. Then ask yourself, what do I want to do? What do I feel like I would rather do? Right. And then you need to go the other way because it was only 5050. Because you allowed your bias. To be factored into that process. So again. I'm not saying you wanna remove your bias. That's, you know, that's a lifelong ambition. And, you know, I mean, who really gets there, right? The Dalai Lama maybe. But the rest of us, we're not going to get there. We just need to understand that all of our decision making is flawed. If we account for those flaws, we can come out pretty good on the other side.
