We all have to make decisions about how to spend our time, energy, and money. Ask yourself, “Will this decision make me happier?”
1. Is this decision likely to strengthen my relationships with other people? 2. Will this decision provide me with novelty and challenge?
3. What is the opportunity cost of this decision? Energy, time, and money are limited, what will you have to give up?
4. Does this decision help you be yourself?
5. When you consider a particular course of action, do you feel energized or drained?
6. How happy are the people who have made that particular decision?
