Design Your Decisions. This program ehnances your ability to shape your future by designing decisions. You may at times feel that decisions are thrust upon you from somewhere outside yourself. Yet, you can learn to habitually create a break in the flow of your activity and declare decisions internally. Whether motivated originally by an external stimulus or an internal declaration, once a decision is declared, you can initiate a decision-design cycle to guide your progression toward clarity of action. Declaring a decision helps focus your energy on three key interrelated aspects of your situation: 1) action and choices; 2) information and research; and 3) preferences and value creation. (more)
