WRAP DECISIONS

Written By Duane Nelson


2 IDEAS FROM ME

  • Reality-test assumptions for critical decisions. A few years ago, a routine blood test showed complete kidney failure on 7 of 8 tests. I felt fine, but decided to retest to verify. The retest came back normal. Don’t believe every test result you get. Tests are complex procedures with many failure mechanisms.

  • My Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) reported 3-month diabetic glucose of 6.5%. I reality-tested the readings with a blood glucose test (A1C) which was 5.8% (Pre-diabetic).

2 QUOTES FROM SAGES

P-Prepare the book-ends (best and worst case scenarios). Chip and Dan Heath - Decisive: How to Make Better Choices in Life and Work

  • “It’s better to be boldly decisive and risk being wrong than to agonise at length and be right too late.”—Marilyn Moats Kennedy
