Interrogate Your Decision Making Rules

Published: Aug. 20, 2023, 7 a.m.

Decisions are made in many ways, but one important type of decisionmaking tool is the "rule." This is something you follow without any cognitive processing.\n\nBut, we eventually develop rules as a part of habit-building. These are "implicit" rules - they aren't necessarily something you have set as a rule, but they are followed as if they were.\n\nThese are worth interrogating, and perhaps replacing with more explicit rules.
