The hardest part of most decisions is identifying the problem. Try to define it and if possible, write it down.

Consider and/or write down all of the information that will help you make a good decision.

Make a list of possible solutions.

Evaluate the pros and cons for each possible solution.

Select the best solution for you (not your parents or friends!).

How will you act on your decision? Create an action plan with the steps that you need for carrying out the decision.

Did you make a good decision that you are comfortable using? Did you choose the best solution from your list? Why or why not? Did your action plan work? What would you do differently next time?
