Descartes Square: Decision Making Technique

When faced with a choice of whether to perform an action, take a leaf, then divide it into 4 parts and write the following questions in each:

  1. What happens if this happens?
  2. What if it doesn’t happen?
  3. What will not happen if this happens?
  4. What won’t happen if it doesn’t?

Visualization helps to see the main problematic questions and doubts, and this technique prevents you from getting stuck on problems.
