Decision design for neurodivergent entrepreneurs
Better decisions often begin by reducing the amount of context a brain has to hold at once.
Get the decision out of your head
Write the question, deadline, options, constraints and people affected in one place. This reduces the need to reconstruct the whole situation every time attention returns to it.
Separate thinking from deciding
Exploration can stay broad for a defined period. Decision time needs a smaller field, explicit criteria and permission to park attractive ideas that do not serve the current goal.
Design a landing place
A decision is incomplete until the next action, owner and review point exist. Use a visible system that is easy to return to after interruption, not a perfect productivity setup that requires constant maintenance.
What to carry into the work
- Externalise the context
- Time-box exploration
- Use explicit decision criteria
- Give every decision a landing place
