I think my process was incredibly similar to the text because I, for one, identified the problem, which was clear –I needed a new car because the old one would not last long. Then I used a readymade solution, which has proven possible over and over again, which was to check out different places for the best deal. I think that was the best route in this situation because it works excellent for others who I know has tried. Once I figured out different places and did comparisons, I evaluated which place would have the best offer, and decided the car that best met my needs. Then I chose the vehicle by satisficing, which was acceptable, but maybe not the best option. I did the next step to execute my decision and bought the vehicle I wanted and badly needed. Finally I evaluated my decision and decided it was a good one because it was definitely a more reliable vehicle. On the contrary, with all those steps I took to make that decision, had I followed the steps in the text, I may have found a better price or different vehicle. I may have found a better priced or quality car if I shopped around to more places. Furthermore, I may have made a better choice by maximizing my choices to get the best vehicle, rather than what was mostly…

There are several important skills to make a healthy choice. For example, if you would like to find information for loosing weight, a good way of accessing information is by either going to a doctor or online with a website ending in .edu or .gov.

2. Determine the Criteria OBJECTIVES (Musts and wants): Considering and defining the requirements/factors necessary to make a successful choice. These are the "requirements" and the "options". The "needs" and "wants". The "must have" and the "nice to have". MUSTS are required. WANTS are added extras. MUSTS are mandatory, measurable and specific.

Life brings changes and surprises everyday, everyone is in control of what happens by the decision that we make. First way to prepare for to make a decision is stating your problem. The more clearly the problem is stated, the easier it will be to solve. A problem is the reason for any decision and how it is interpreted is critical to any decision. Play freely with the problem statement, rewording it several times. Problems normally have some sort of preformed assumption; clear all of these when looking at a problem. That will help clarify any problem. Every problem that may be encountered may just be a piece of a larger problem. Looking at each individual problem and solving for each specific problem can go a long way. Breaking up problems will help determine just what the exactly problem is. This can prevent the overwhelming feeling that many people get when confronted with a large issue. Next, look at the problem from different perspectives and different views. The more similarities that are found from the different views then the more clarity you will have. Then gather as many facts as possible and combine all the information that was gathered throughout this process. This is a crucial step in decision-making.…
