Decisions and uncertainty

A decision you can finish


English stub of the sample path. One pillar, two placeholder reads, then three written lines.

English stub. The order matches the Chinese path. The two reads are placeholders. The walk is still usable: pick a real decision that is not your whole life, and finish one small version of it.

Steps

  1. See what this pillar is for

    Decisions and uncertainty

    How to finish a decision when the information will never be complete.

  2. Give the research a stopping rule

    How much information is enough before you decide

    English stub. Stop when the next fact would not change the option or next week’s action.

  3. Notice whether scarcity is using the bandwidth

    Scarcity: when attention has room for only one thing

    English stub. Scarcity here means captured attention, not a character flaw.

  4. Write it down

    Three lines — the decision, the loss you can accept, and next week’s step. There is no extra essay. The writing is the step.
