==> Write it down
Write a precise statement of the situation to be resolved. Once you clearly define the situation, its solution starts rushing toward you.
==>Analyze the situation
Look at the situation from all possible angles. Identify all aspects, paying particular attention to which portions can be resolved immediately, and which portion requires further analysis.
==>List all alternative solutions
Write each potential solution as completely as possible.
==>Evaluate all possible solutions
Determine whom or what does each solution help, and whom or what does it hurt.
==>Picture the consequences
Carry each possible solution to its logical conclusion. See the end results clearly and in great detail.
==>Get advice, but make the decision your own Discuss the situation with persons you trust and respect. Study their advice in conjunction with your own understanding and observations. Then, make the final decision your own.
==>Stick to your decision
Once you make a decision, stick to it until new facts are produced warranting a change.
==>Put your decision into action immediately
Don’t procrastinate once you have a made a decision. Get started right away and give it your best.

– Herbert Harris
