I was struggling with a decision an upcoming decision. Which week in March 2024 to choose for a Canadian Ski vacation? I remembered your section in How do Decide, "When a decision is hard, that means it’s easy" and after re-reading it I made my decision in under 5 minutes!
The important decision was decide to do to the trip in the first place. This is in alignment with my values to live a great live, be healthy and fit, and have great adventures.
The decision of which week to choose seemed hard because both were great options, and I was focusing on the potential downsides (what if I choose week when the weather/snow conditions are bad?). In reality, the odd of this are nearly identical for both weeks, so fretting won't improve my decision. Also, If one of the weeks was my "only option" I'd jump on it and be thrilled. So, I picked a week, booked it, and moved on.
Thanks Annie for such great and practical advice. I could have fretted over this decision for weeks! Now I can focus on getting excited and in shape for next year's trip!
