Ask HN: Algorithms of decision making?

3 points by michaelbrave ↗ HN
Does anyone have a thought process for making a decision that has served them well? A way to choose between options and opportunities?

Or really any ideas or concepts that might help in the decision-making process.

I try not to make 'context free' decisions. What is relevant to one decision is not necessarily relevant to another and even when two decisions share a relevant feature, the weight of that feature is probably different.

And I accept that I'm going to make more mistakes (I've already made enough that perhaps one ought not to use my decision making advice).

Good luck.

Thanks I really appreciate you taking the time to answer. It helps.
