I read an interesting article on decision-making this past week. Part of the article dealt with making a decision between two competing choices. In the decision-making process, the author applied what she called the "two-two-two rule." To quote, " I ask myself, 'What will be the impact on both sides (of the decision) two weeks from now, two months from now, and two years from now?'"
This is an excellent tool to use when trying to make a difficult decision. Many times, the future impact is not recognized or fully thought out and a decision may be made in haste. This method forces a person to think of the results for actual timeframes before making a decision.
