Undecided on those quick decisions necessary on those everyday, small, mundane (or not so mundane) things? Too awkward to flip a coin?

If there is a digital clock, or your vehicle's odometer available, try this:

* On a digital clock, is the end number that changes every minute an 'Odd' Number or an 'Even' Number?'

* On a your vehicle's odometer: Is your vehicle's odometer on your next stop an 'Odd' Number or an 'Even' Number?'

- An 'Odd' number means a 'NO' decision - as the words 'Odd' and 'NO' both have an 'O'.
- An 'Even' number means a 'YES' decision- and the words 'Even' and 'YES' both have a 'E.'

Personally, I find the wisdom, "when in doubt don't" as a good decision guide. Hence, it's uncommon that it's necessary to preform the above described 'Odd' 'Even' ritual!

ADDENDUM: The 'Odd' or 'Even' number you use from the odometer is the number that changes every 1/10th of a mile.
