There are often times in life when you need to make a decision.
And it's not about what to cook for dinner or which fitness center to sign up for. The more serious the question, the more doubts and uncertainty. But a decision needs to be made one way or another.
How to make a quick decision that will not disappoint in the future? For this case, there is a technique invented by the brilliant mathematician and philosopher Rene Descartes.
Descartes square
This method is based on the fact that decisions are easier to make if a person limits his or her choices.
The first thing you need to do is draw a square and divide it into four equal sectors.
Each part of the square has its own question-name:
"What good will happen if I do this?"
"What good will happen if I don't do this?"
"What bad will happen if I do this?"
"What bad thing will happen if I don't do this?"
Now it's just a small matter. You need to answer these questions as honestly and sincerely as possible, and then see what you get.
When comparing the answers, the solution will become obvious and doubts will disappear.
