In school they taught us how to draw a line down the center of a page and write “pros” at the head of one column, and “cons” on the other. Making a decision was as simple as taking the time to list all the pros and cons and whichever outweighed the other determined the decision.
In reality, some pros turn in to cons and vice versa. Or one pro may lead on to five cons.
And what do you do if it’s a tie?
