Descartes' square or how to make important decisions

Our career is a set of many mega-important decisions: what kind of job to choose, which country to go to, which discipline to choose at university, which online course to take, and much more. There are many paths, and choosing one is quite difficult. These difficulties are due to the lack of boundaries and limits, filtering - define it as you wish. That's why one of the best decision-making tool is the so-called Descartes' Square, which consists of four of four (yes, sides, but also...) questions. What are they? Read on!

What happens if I do?

Probably the main question for a future solution. You mention the benefits and advantages. But don't limit yourself to them! If you know about certain disadvantages of a particular case, be sure to include them. Your goal is to to reveal your goal as widely as possible!

What happens if I don't?

It's more about the disadvantages. What exactly will you lose if you don't if you don't take advantage of this opportunity. What will you see if you don't go to Florence? What do you lose if you refuse the contract? It is not a fact that this is a secondary option. In some cases, it can be decisive

What will happen if I do this?

This is most likely a neutral result. If you start running every day, you will not lose 10 kilograms in 5 days. If you start a new job, it's not a given that you'll earn job, it is not a given that you will earn 10,000 UAH every day. The result requires time, which you can mark in this part of the square.

What will happen if I don't?

It will be a lost opportunity. Or a good safety net. Sometimes we should not should not rush to make decisions, because the consequences can be destructive. Sometimes we don't need to be very active during a discussion, but instead keep to be calm instead. But if you do not choose a job, you are not guaranteed career growth. Maybe you want to work remotely in comfort, but not to engage in live networking? The choice is yours!
