TIP OF THE DAY
How to Make Decisions
Step 1
Mark out the parameters of the decision clearly: What choices do you have? Are there more than two?
Step 2
Gather as much information as you can about each alternative - talk to the appropriate people, seek advice from friends and family, and research by reading books and magazine or newspaper articles.
Step 3
Get the experience that will help you make an informed decision. For example, if you're trying to decide whether to become a doctor or not, first volunteer at a hospital or clinic.
Step 4
Jot down a list of pros and cons for each decision. Prioritize which considerations are very important to you, and which are less so.
Step 5
Recognize that there are no right reasons for making a particular decision. The fact that a particular path is important to you, regardless of what others think, legitimizes it.
Step 6
Think honestly about any fears, motives or biases guiding your thinking. Recognize them for what they are.
Step 7
Brainstorm alternatives. Can you synthesize the available alternatives into a compromise that maximizes the pros and minimizes the cons? Look for ways to have your cake and eat it too.
Step 8
Put an end to collecting information about your decision. Avoid thinking that with just a little more time and information, you'll be able to make the one perfect decision. Remember that no decision is perfect and that all choices are made in a condition of some uncertainty.
Step 9
Recognize that you might learn things in hindsight that would have changed your decision had you known about them earlier. This thought is normal, and should not be allowed to stall your decision making.
Step 10
Make the decision.
WE ALSO FEATURED:
An interview with Zayne Imam Vice Chairperson of Rainbow UCT. Rainbow UCT is a student group at the University of Cape Town who focuses on building a comfortable environment for gays, lesbians, bisexual and transsexual students and staff. He joined us to share with us his experience as a gay student and being a gay individual in 2009. Has people warmed-up towards them or are they still discriminators.
We then were joined by Asanda Fanti from Triangle Project who joined us to share experience as a lesbian. She shared her difficulty with growing up in a closed-minded community and what gave her the strength and courage to carry on. I also asked whether she’s still being marginalized by people because of her sexuality etc.
Lastly I played an interview done with intersex activist Funeka Soldaat who shared with us her journey as an intersex individuals.
QUOTE OF THE DAY
