The average person makes over 35,000 choices a day, leading to exhaustion and often questionable choices. These begin as soon as you wake up when you decide to hit snooze, then when you decide if you’ll pack a lunch or grab something to-go.

Of course, our daily decisions aren’t always so simple. Choices on who will be the best fit to lead an upcoming project or if your family should move to a new city, take a lot of consideration, research, and time out of your day. Each of these choices has specific conditions and requirements that can make it hard to come to a solid conclusion, but these same criteria also help you best evaluate your choices.

“Your life changes the moment you make a new, congruent, and committed decision.” – Tony Robbins

This is where decision-making frameworks come into play. There are three key models you can use to help you make decisions:

The Rational Decision-Making Model is best for high-stakes and financial choices.
The Bounded Rationality Model aims to satisfy a problem when you have limited resources or information.
The Vroom-Yetton Model helps you determine which of the other 2 decision-making models is best for your situation.
