This is just a method I found years ago for helping to make a choice when you have several alternatives to choose from. I thought I’d share it with you because it may be of use to someone. These examples are simple things we might want to do but this method really comes in useful when the alternatives are more complex and you may find yourself befuddled by them. This may help to clarify things.
Choices.
Paint, walk, ski, read, write
Combinations. Just pair each one systematically left to right.
Paint, walk. Paint, ski. Paint, read. Paint, write
Walk, ski. Walk, read. Walk, write
Ski, read. Ski, write
Read, write
Scoring. Place a 1 against the one of the pair you prefer.
Paint walk 1. Paint 1 ski. Paint read1. Paint 1 write
Walk 1 ski. Walk 1 read. Walk 1 write
Ski read1. Ski write1
Read 1 write.
Scores. Add up the scores for each choice.
Walk 4 the winner is go for a walk.
Read 2
Paint 2
Write 1
Ski 0
This method can also be used to prioritise a list of actions.
Hope it helps sometime ?

I love this @leeCal! It makes sense and I'll certainly have to remember it for the future.
