I've come up with a decision-making routine. It is: Define, Understand,
Decide, Execute (DUDE).
First you must Define the problem: What's bugging you?
Then you must Understand the problem: Why is it bugging you?
Then you must Decide about what to do about the problem so that you are
no longer being bugged.
And finally you must Execute that decision so that you are no longer
bugged, once and for all.
Define, Understand, Decide, Execute. Otherwise, be a DUDE.
It is to be stated that in case the last step (Execute) is ommitted,
your routine becomes Define, Understand, Decide (DUD).
In the last step, is the difference between whether you are a DUDE or a
DUD.
So, be a DUDE.

Vgood... I used to write/type much more, but time is always
running short. I do like this little saying. :)

I prefer to take the tact John Barth suggested in End of the Road.
1. If the decision requires a directional answer pick the one of the right.
2. If 1 does not apply, pick the one closest to you.
3. If the above doesn't apply choose the one closest to A in the alphabet.

Apologies to Mr. Barth as I am doing this from memory.

I still like the old Bridge rule: if you don't know what to play, play
the nearest card to your thumb.

The opinions given above may be mine. They might also
just be what I feel like saying right now, okay?
