While reading David Brooks’ The Second Mountain, he shared (in an off-handed comment) a device that he uses for making personal decisions.
In the most significant decisions in his life, Brooks employs a 10, 10, 10 filtering system.
Let’s give it a try. Think of your most pressing decision that you have in front of you. Think of what decision you think you should make.
Imagine what life will be like in:
10 minutes
10 months
10 years
Do you like what you can imagine with the limited knowledge that you have? If so, take your leap. If not, you might pick another option and perform the same exercise.
