Trouble in deciding which one? Try to flip a coin.
1 min readMar 2, 2015
You have two option either this or that, and can’t decide which one. The ‘ghost’ of paralysis analysis is taunting you.
Here something that might help you:
- Get a coin. For easy flipping, you may want to get the one that is at least an inch in diameter.
- Choose heads for option 1, and tail for option 2.
- Flip the coin. For better coin flipping technique, you may want to watch this NatGeo show ‘Going deep with David Reese : Secrets of Coin Flipping’.
- Try to catch the coin, or let it fall to the floor.
- Check which side of the coin is facing up.
- Do or follow the option represented by the side of the coin facing up!
If in case, you are not happy with the result, then do the option of which the non-faced-up side represents. This means you are leaning towards this option in the first place, but you can’t seem to get yourself to follow your gut. You need a ‘sign’, in this case a coin to help you decide.
Hope this helps. Good luck!
