Narrowing-down Strategy

What happens when you are faced with three, four, or more options all falling within a reasonable ballpark of desirability or doability? Studies recommend a narrowing-down technique. That means you evaluate only two options at a time. Your brain only has two hemispheres and when there are more than two options, the brain may discard everything over two—and one of the discarded options may have been the most desirable. With multiple options to choose from trying using the narrowing down technique. Select two of the options and pick one. Discard the other one. Compare that one you chose with another option and pick one. Discard the other one. Repeat this until there are no more options from which to choose. The one that’s left is the one you go with.
