Coin Flip

When you are undecided on a difficult decision, flip a coin. 

Why?

Because when the coin is in the air, you suddenly know which side you really want.

For me this works so well it is incredible. A slight feeling of disappointment after a coin lands is enough to make me choose the other option. When a coin isn’t available I assign each option to a letter then ask my wife “A or B?” her response works just as well.

Yes, it’s a gimmick. But it works for me. It might for you as well.
