10/10/10 Rule for Making Decisions

Blog post talks about the 10/10/10 Method: A good set of questions to ask yourself when making a decision:

Every time I find myself in a situation where there appears to be no solution that will make everyone happy, I ask myself three questions:

• What are the consequences of my decision in 10 minutes?
• In 10 months?
• And in 10 years?

I'd also personally ask "How will I feel in 10 minutes/months/years" (not just consequences), but it's a very neat idea .

Hat tip to Lifehacker for the link.

Thanks for posting this! Definitely going to try it out to make better decisions...over $300 in food this month...

Great rule to use, thanks for posting.  It's funny because in many of the collaborative decisions I am involved in professionally I find people are really focusing on the first 10, maybe a little of the second 10 and never thinking about the last 10.

Great tip! Sounds almost like this minimalist decluttering tip:

Most things can be replaced for less than ten dollars, in ten minutes or less. So get rid of those things you're saving!
