Decision Making for Flexibility

by Anne Ku

 

Chapter 8
Life Decisions

Throughout one's life, certain "meta" decisions determine the course for the next few years or even the rest of one's life.

  • Freelance (contracting) or Employment (job)
  • Rent or buy home in respect of location
  • Partnering: affair or long-term commitment like marriage
  • The dating game or serial commitments
  • Career decisions: which job will open up more possibilities in the future?
  • Education: choice of university major
