Intuitively Validate Your Decisionh26

Why Use It

Many skilled decision makers intuitively know when they have made the right decision. When asked how they know, they can’t explain it and say it’s a feeling. Use this thinklet to tap into your intuition feelings to help validate your decisions.

How to Use It

Tasks	Action
2	Assign heads to one choice (I like the decision) and assign tails to the other (I do NOT like the decision).
3	Flip the coin
4	Ask yourself the question: “Should I do a 2 out-of 3 flip?”
4	Intuitively feel what the result is telling you. a.If you have no reservation about the outcome of the coin flip, your intuition is telling you that the coin landed correctly and gave you the right choice. b.If, however, you find yourself feeling that you need to do a ‘2 out-of 3’ or ‘3 out-of 5’coin flip, then your intuition is saying that the coin did not land correctly. For example, if the coin landed on ‘heads’ and you say let’s do 2 out of 3 then your intuition is telling you the correct answer is ‘tails’. Note: It may take using this technique a number of times before you start accepting intuitive input. Just be patient and persist; you will soon gain the use of a wonderful thinking ability.
