As a mediator, I am curious about how people make decisions. As a human being, I am ever hopeful that they will make good decisions.
I came across this post the other day, from Washington mediator Vivian Scott, and I thought I would quote it here. Let me know if it works for you!
“When faced with two choices, simply toss a
coin. It works not because it settles the question

moment when the coin is in the air, you suddenly
know what you are hoping for.”
Vivian has also written Conflict Resolution at Work for Dummies. The Amazon link is here.
