Decision-Making System Course
Advance from being tormented by doubt and confusion to becoming a versed decision maker.
Stop Being a Decision-Making Disaster
Do you feel terrible at making decisions? Most of us do. Most of us suck at making high-quality decisions because no one really taught us on how to properly evaluate a situation.
Life is a never-ending series of choices. Some small, some huge. But they all matter.
Each decision you make shapes your reality. And if you’re making shitty decisions, you’re probably getting a shitty reality in return.
Decisions as Systems
In a world of never-ending series of choices, we can’t afford to remain poor decision-makers. We need to lean on rational and deliberate reasoning.
But is this possible in our chaotic and fast-paced world? In a world of constant flux?
Yes, but it takes work.
It requires setting up a decision-making system. A framework that will invite reason to the scene and allow you to find the best way to move forward in any given situation.
The Decision-Making System Course
Stop making the same mistakes over and over again. Learn how to stop falling for illusions and biases.
My Decision-Making System course gives you an actionable framework. A set of guidelines that empowers you to ask the right questions, categorize chaos, and from there find the best path forward.
The course will help you learn:
- How to Approach Decision-Making
Instead of rushing to respond to a problem as fast as possible, you will recognize the usefulness of taking your time to pause and evaluate the current situation. - Why We Make Lousy decisions
We are quite bad at making decisions, but do you know why? Recognizing why we make lousy choices will reveal what we need to improve. - How to Navigate Disorder
Admitting to yourself that you are confused, that you don’t fully grasp what’s happening is the best way to approach decision-making. This creates the needed space to figure out how to move forward. - How to Categorize Problems
Not all problems are the same. Thus, different problems need to be treated differently. Understanding how to categorize problems will help you solve them better and faster. - How to Deal with Chaos
Stop catapulting the rational part of the brain somewhere distant when uncertainty arises. Find out how to stay calm under pressure and handle chaotic situations. - How to Avoid Stupidity
In a lot of cases, it’s better to keep being consistently not stupid, instead of trying to be outrageously smart.
Inside The Decision-Making System Course:
The course consist of four, relatively short, written chapters that will give you a new perspective on how to approach decision-making.
More precisely, the Decision-Making System course is structured around the famous Cynefin framework.
Here’s a short overview of the course:
Chapter 1
Chapter one is about dealing with relatively clear and simple problems. You will learn how to act when you know what’s happening to avoid wasting time.
Chapter 2
In chapter two, we deal with more complicated situations. We’ll recognize the need to get in touch with experts who can guide us to the optimal solution to the problem we are facing.
Chapter 3
Chapter three is all about complex problems. We’ll see why it’s better to embrace complexity rather than trying to avoid it.
Chapter 4
Finally, in chapter four, we’ll examine chaotic situations. We’ll learn how to move the situation from chaotic to a more manageable state.
The lessons in each chapter end with journaling prompts, acting as actionable exercises, that will help you improve your decision-making skills.
Are You Ready To Sharpen Your Decision-Making Skills?
Our decisions shape our destiny. If we surrender to our impulses and rarely consider the consequences of our actions, we will condemn our fate. But let’s get real: thriving in our ever-changing landscape is strewn with obstacles. There’s no magic pill or quick fix. Building a decision-making muscle takes time and effort. If you’re tired of being a decision-making disaster, my course will give you a solid foundation.

Who’s the Creator of The Course?
Ivaylo Durmonski (aka the person running this whole site). I’m a voracious reader, librarian, and writer obsessed with helping people transition from passive online consumers to active mindful go-getters with a sense of purpose.
This course is based on the books I’ve read, the articles I’ve published on critical thinking, and the resources I’ve digested related to the Cynefin framework. Plus, more importantly, the personal work I’ve done to shift my thinking from dangerously irrational to somehow reasonable.
The knowledge I’ve gathered over the years on decision-making has allowed me to stop having the time horizon of an ant on acid and be a more forward-looking person. Thanks to this, I’ve started prioritizing long-term happiness over short-term pleasure.
This short course will help you categorize problems, understand what are the potential roadblocks along the way, and give you perspective on how to prevent the same issues from reappearing.
