There is a very rich man (forgot the name) who is making big decisions like this:
* make a list of pros and cons
* give each item an importance score from 0 to 10
* if the sum of pros is at least twice that of the cons: do it
I believe you can do this for small decisions as well, without creating a list. Because most of the time you have a sense about the pros being twice as valuable as the cons.
Edit: Sorry, this comment is a little unrelated because the parent talked about making a choice. My comment is more about 'should I progress'.
> if the sum of pros is at least twice that of the cons
This is very obvious situation. But what if sum is not twice larger? Or if you are not confident in your importance score? This is where game becomes harder.
