Every day I make a lot of decisions. Some big. Some small. I found the best method to figure this stuff out is this funnel. Please note, it's what works for me, maybe it won't for you. Everyone has unique styles. 

The lack of quality design below was proudly brought to you by, me! (:

I know it seems pretty simple, but you have major life or business decisions to make, I've found it really clears everything up. And if not? You bring in a trusted advisor to give the non-biased "I'm looking down from 30,000 feet and here is what I'm seeing" viewpoint. 

I'm curious to see what other people are doing?

37Signals is a great tool for managing projects. I bit the bullet and paid the small $24/mo fee for Basecamp. Well worth it.

1. It has a fantastically simple interface.
   
2. The design is dead simple. 
3. It's web based! 
   
4. Team collaboration makes life easy.
