# Q Decision Making

A set of techniques for making better decisions. Most bad decisions come from hidden assumptions, emotional attachment, or only seeing one perspective. These techniques surface what is actually driving your thinking.

## When to use this skill
- You need to choose between two or more options
- You feel attached to one outcome and want an honest check
- You are about to commit significant time or money to something
- You want to stress test a decision before making it

## Techniques

### Parallel Conversations
Runs the same idea through three completely different perspectives simultaneously. Most people have one conversation and think they have the full picture. They have one third of it.

### Assumption Audit
Surfaces every assumption your decision is based on and stress tests each one. Most bad decisions come from assumptions nobody questioned.

### Time Machine
Shows you what your future self would think about this decision in 6 months, 1 year, and 5 years. Forces you out of present moment bias that clouds most decisions.
