Hi Jenny,
Yours is actually not a bad way to go about making decisions. Sometimes no matter what we do or how hard we think things through it doesn't work out the way we hope. When that happens the best we can do is learn the lessons offered and treat it as life experience.
In my decision making process, I use
critical thinking, my gut feeling/intuition, and advice from others (their experiences or opinions, books etc.). I weigh this all out and come to a logical conclusion.
Nothing is fool proof and sometimes we have to make mistakes in order to learn and gain wisdom.
This has worked quite well for me and whatever the outcome, I know I've given my best shot so I rarely have regrets.
