#SOL19: Decisions

I really want to finish this book but I’m only on chapter 3.

I need to read this book again before my next PD.

It’s book 4 in the series.  I can’t wait to see where it goes.

Time is short.  I need to read before finalizing my plans.

Just one more chapter.  But wait a chapter is short so that’s probably only about 5 minutes.

Read and jot down notes, craft a response.  That could be an hour per chapter.

How do I decide?

I could flip a coin but if I don’t like the results will I change the requirements to “best 3 out of 5 results”?

If I could think of 6 alternatives, I could roll a die.  (Or all even could be one choice and all odd the other.)

Is “luck” a good way to make a decision?

With 425,000,000 results . . . what follows is a decision making process from Google (Link).

I’m at Step 3 and I need to identify the alternatives.

• Read text A
• Read text B
• Read neither text
• Read both texts
• Begin to develop the work for the day and then determine the need to read additional resources.
• Read text C

So obviously, I’m not ready to make a decision YET.

When perhaps should you have prudently waited? 

Or had a process in place? 

When do we “rush to action” when perhaps patience and thought is required?
