Less and Less and Less

After going through the options and IDing the healthiest choices, the ones that are best in the long-run, the ones that are better for my well-being as a whole, the ones that are most practical and realistic, there's a variety of ways I make my decisions.

If it's about an opportunity, I'm going with the chance that's more rare and lucky.

If it's about an emotion, I think about what I would have done 3 years ago, and if I was 3 years older, what would I do?

If it's really a dilemma, I think about (or actually do end up) telling my friends about it and see what they would advise me to do. What decision seems more on-brand for me? And do I want to go with the choice that seems predictable for me?

Other times, if it's something not so materialistic, I think about people I admire and aspire to be like. I put five, ten, fifty of them on a panel and think about what they would do. If I'm a consolidation of the people I care about and admire most, if they were my democracy, what would their verdict be?

Other times, I'll sleep on it. I sleep on it and procrastinate on it for a while. When I get closer to having to make a decision, the one my panic picks is the one I really wanted to go with.

Which option makes me the most angry and emotional?

Which one would I want a book/movie character to pick?

Which one would I want to choose if there were no negative consequences?

And most importantly, which one sounds like a great idea?
