Step 1:

Think of a decision you've made within the last few days or weeks. Your decision doesn't have to be a life-changing one, but select something that
involved several factors--people, resources, obstacles, or assistance you
may have received. Your decision should be important enough to have
considered several options before making up your mind. If you can't think of anything in the recent past, observe yourself over the next few days and
take note of a decision you make.

Step 2:

Think about how you arrived at the decision. See if you can take apart your decision-making process. What did you think of first? What did you do next?

Step 3:

When you've come up with a decision, answer the questions below. Again, this is not a required activity, but you will do something similar to this in your unit project.

2.Who did you consider while making your decision?

3.What were the obstacles you experienced in making your decision? (Obstacles can be people, lack of resources, physical limitations, etc.)

4.Who helped you to make your decision? How did they help?

5.How do you feel about the decision you've made?

6.Would you do anything differently if you had to make this decision again? What would you do or not do again?

7.What obstacles did you run into that prevented or tried to prevent your success with your decision?
