Chapters

If you're stressing over making a difficult decision, consider putting the resolution to an extreme test. If you feel total and utter conviction to do something—hell yeah!—then the answer is absolutely yes. Anything else gets a thumbs down. This simplifies your decision-making process and eliminates lingering stress. If you're concerned about trying this technique with a big decision, try it with a minor decision first and work your way up to more important decisions as your confidence with this technique grows.
