What's a good way to decide a "yes or no" answer for something that's pretty important?

Answer #1

It depends. But you should feel it in your gut? If not, then it shouldn’t be that important. You can flip a coin. See what goes.

Answer #2

Write down pros and cons. Ask others their opinions.

Answer #3

Yeah I’m not letting a coin decide my future and the first one isn’t always the best but thanks anyways.

Answer #4

. I try to deduce all the important criteria: . e.g. (a) which is best in my own opinion; (b) which is morally right; (c) which is correct from the judicial point of view; (d) which gets the popular vote among family and friends; etc., . ….. then in a state of utter confusion, I toss a coin: . . . . . . . . . . heads = yes; . . . . . . . . . . tails = no; . trouble is it always seems to give the wrong answer.
Ahh well, never mind, I guess I must just be a useless tosser. .
