Desision Making Techniques - Top tip for making good decisions

This great decision making  tip comes from my NLP trainer Graham Constantine

Imagine that you are about to decide between three options. For example whether to seek a challenge in your current role,  find a job in another department or continue with what you are doing now. To find out your decision criteria make a list numbered one to ten and ask yourself the question, "What's important to me in choosing my future career direction"? and write down the answers.. In deciding between your options make a comparison between option 1, 2 and 3 in your mind. Notice what you see, hear and feel for each of the options: NOW, three months from now, 6 months from now and a year from now and become aware of as many fine distinctions as you can between the three options. Be specific on dates i.e.1st June 2009, 1st September 2009, 1st December 2009 and 1st June 2010 in this example.

Now remember a decision that you have already taken that you knew was a good decision before you took it. Notice what you see, hear and feel in detail and compare this to each of the three options. The option that most closely matches this decision is the one for you
