I was intrigued by the story behind the creation of the AREA method to make herself feel better about her decisions as they change the lives of several people. I am an indecisive person in every decision I make, whether it be a small or life-changing decision because of the multiple options there are. Not knowing the future outcomes is what makes me anxious of making the right decision, but the AREA method is a great way to validate your choice objectively. I admire how Cheryl overcame her troubles of her job through creating a method for her thoughts and decisions. I hope to use the AREA method to make sound and efficient decisions.
