Can't Decide? Flip a Coin!


Need to decide?  
Flip a coin, really.  

If you need to make a decision, big or small, consider the old coin toss.  Here's why it really helps.  First of all, it forces us to narrow the options down to two.  Secondly, the moment that coin rears it's head or tail, you'll have a gut reaction.  Be ready to acknowledge that.  

If you don't like the result of your toss, and find yourself going for two-outa-three, that's usually your best answer right there, or an indication that you're just not ready to make that decision yet.
