Decision Trees (Human Behavior)

Decision trees: a tree of states, choices, and new states from those choices. Typically used in computer science but can be used for behavior planning as well.

I am very serious about planning for success. When most people plan ahead, they look for problem points and plan what to do if things go wrong in the ways that they expect. Too many people don’t plan a follow up for what happens if it all goes right.

Planning for and what turns out to be the correct choice has a cumulative effect. [..] the need for planning for both success and failure plus one or two branches from each decision if it works or doesn't work.
