My Favourite Tip - Gretchen Rubin: “Choose the Bigger Life” and other decision-making hacks

from How I Work · host Amantha Imber

Bestselling author and happiness guru Gretchen Rubin isn’t Type A. She’s Type A+, so she knows her way around a well-ordered pros and cons list. But when she and her family were deciding whether or not get a dog, that kind of hyperlogical thinking didn’t feel quite right, and ultimately had her going around in circles. Instead, she asked herself, ‘What’s the bigger life?’When it comes to major life decisions, breaking things down into tiny details doesn’t reflect the bigness of the decision. So with that in mind, Gretchen shares a number of questions she asks herself in order to make better decisions. Connect with Gretchen on Twitter or LinkedinYou can find the full interview here: The habits of happiness with Gretchen RubinIf you’re looking for more tips to improve the way you work, I write a short fortnightly newsletter that contains three cool things I have discovered that help me work better, which range from interesting research findings through to gadgets I am loving.
