I’d like to share a method I’ve used and refined over the years to simplify such decisions, and I’ve distilled it into a flowchart. Say goodbye to overthinking, decision paralysis, and projects that are doomed to fail! I’ll go over key questions to ask yourself when deciding, talk about the nuances and distractions, explain when and how to come up with numbers, and how to recognize that we’re wasting time.
