A short YouTube clip by Rich Bello describing Benjamin Franklin's simple decision-making "balance sheet" method: list pros and cons for a (typically low-stakes) decision, cross off pros and cons that cancel each other, and choose the side with more remaining items. The video frames the method as practical, rudimentary, and effective for minor decisions.

Franklin. I love Ben Franklin. So he has this, this process, this trade off tool. He figured it out real quick. Like, you know what very practical, where he basically, it's kind of like a balance sheet where he comes up with these pros and cons. Write down the pros and cons for any decision you want to make. And you just don't, don't just do that. You cross off pros that are equal to cons. This one's about the same as this one. You cross it off. If you're left with more pros than cons, boom, that's your decision. A very rudimentary way and a very effective way. Especially you're making a decision that's not so important.
