The Triangle of Regret Minimization

Identification, Projection, and Evaluation

The triangle of Identification, Projection, and Evaluation represents the three components of regret minimization, a framework for making decisions that reduce future regret and promote peace of mind.

1. Identification: Identification involves clearly recognizing the decision at hand and its potential outcomes. By understanding the stakes and consequences, you lay the groundwork for thoughtful decision-making and avoid hasty or emotional choices.

2. Projection: Projection requires imagining yourself in the future and considering how you might feel about each potential decision. By stepping into your future self, you can assess whether a choice aligns with your long-term goals and values, helping you anticipate regret before it happens.

3. Evaluation: Evaluation is the process of weighing options and determining the best course of action. By considering the impact of your choices and prioritizing those that align with your future vision, you minimize the likelihood of regret.
   

Balancing identification, projection, and evaluation empowers you to make decisions with clarity, confidence, and foresight.
