Episode 149: Making Thoughtful Choices

It can be challenging to make thoughtful choices--whether they're large or small decisions. In this episode, Shannon shares a process that she uses to make decisions and how it helped she and her husband decide whether or not to buy a new car. (Spoiler alert: They decided not to!) This simple process can be helpful in all sorts of situations. Discussion topics include: • The two important questions that are basis of this process: (1) What problem are you trying to solve as you make a choice? and (2) What are you hoping to gain? • How Shannon and her husband disagreed about whether or not to buy a car because they were coming at it with different goals • How once they figured out what they were trying to achieve, the question became much more clear • The adorable car that Mike decided to wait for: The 2024 electric Volkswagen Microbus • Pressing pause on spending until you can make a thoughtful decision • How this process can apply to any decision, not just financial ones • Separating complicated decisions into smaller components • Applying the process to decluttering projects, like Shannon's bar/cookbook nook that she just decluttered • Another application of this process: deciding whether to take a course Visit the show notes at www.gettingtogoodenough.com for links!
