Notes
(highlight:: You don’t have to figure out every unknown before taking action. Start by identifying some of the questions that come up as you look over your methodology table. Think about areas where you were very unsure about rating. Were there certain factors you had no idea how to rate? Is there something you assume but don’t know for sure?
Then, ask yourself if there’s other important questions that don’t come up in the table but that you’d need to gain clarity on. These can be anything from detailed questions about the kind of work you’d be doing to broad questions about the importance of the problem you’d work on. At this point, try quickly jotting down all the major uncertainties that come to mind.
Now that you have a list of questions, you can start to prioritize the most important ones. These tend to be make-or-break questions that could alter how you think about your options or potentially change what action you decide to take. To get a sense of which questions you need to answer before moving forward, try asking yourself:
• Is there specific information I could learn that would change my intuition or assumption about an option?
• What new insight would make me change my top option?
• What is something that could change my mind about whether or not to pursue one option over another?
• Which questions will prevent me from making a decision or taking a next step?.)
