Decision making tactic reflection

Which of these 4 decision-making tactics do you think will be useful, or can these be useful, and why?

• Opportunity cost

• GANT chart

• Values

• Decision trees

I believe that opportunity cost and decision trees are the absolute most important and useful decision-making tactics. Opportunity cost is especially important in big decisions to make sure you figure both sides of a choice and make the choice in a rational, educated mind to ensure validity in the selected choice. Decision trees are a more unconscious way of thinking, as you’re finding a quick way to decide on a situation, you unconsciously figure out all options before making your choice. It’s especially helpful when trying to make a decision with the knowledge of all the other choices you have before the final decision.

Opportunity cost and decision trees are, in my opinion, interestingly similar as they can both affect your decision-making strategies as well as your way of deciding between choices as a whole. Both tactics force you to consider all your options, while making a decision tree you must think ahead and consider what choices you have now and what choices may come from your future choices, complicated, but I believe that with training your brain runs through these scenarios unconsciously. Whereas opportunity cost shows you your options where you need to then decide the better choice depending on what you gain and lose from choosing either one.

Did using these decision making tactics change the way thaty you think about/consider decisions?

When learning different ways to make decisions, you become able to think and analyze all your choices before deciding definitely. Before I learned these tactics I sort of unconsciously considered options when making a choice. Now that I have learned the brain process beind my decision making, I have been able to reflect on my decisions and if I make a mistake in my decision making process, I can then improve next time.
