Making Decisions
Sometimes you have a decision to make, and you’re not sure what to do. Here’s how to think clearly.
1. Write down what you have to decide.
Should I sign up for archery or for fishing?
2. List the facts.
List facts, feelings, and any questions you have.

3. Find answers to any questions.
Ask someone where the archery class meets. Ask friends which class would be better.
4. Make your decision.
Put a ★ next to each “good” thing on your list. You might decide to do the activity with the most ★’s. Sometimes, one good thing—like being with your friend Jake—might be more important to you than anything else. Or maybe you’ll decide to do both!
