Decision making: Flip a coin

Should I or shouldn't I? Do I buy this or not? Vanilla or chocolate? Holidays to Hawaii or Japan?... These are the type of questions that we encounter every single day. While some of these decisions might be easy to take, others are a real pain as there is so much at stake.

Well, how about an efficient, quick & fun way to decide? Go!

"Is he really going to make us flip a coin to take decisions??"

You bet I will!

Like everyone else, I'm facing decisions on a daily basis. A few years ago, I could be very indecisive sometimes and could take ages to make a decision even for the most simple things: Black or white t-shirt? Salted or unsalted butter?

This was a huge decision to make as I'd been living in Canada for a few years by then and had everything I needed.

I reached the coin and flipped it.
