There are three methods outlined by the author. I have used all three and found one in particular to be remarkably useful.
I found out about What to Do When You Can't Decide book because of an interview on the Sounds True podcast. Sounds True, also the publisher, did a great disservice to the book and author with the over the top skepticism in the interview. It bordered on rudeness. If you are able to find and listen to the 2010 episode, side step the questions and interruptions. Between the lines, as the author speaks, you will hear evidence of an interesting method of using chits. It goes beyond the divination world of things like tarot, and gets your life back in sync in a tangible way.
The chit system surprised me the most is based upon an ancient form of divination known as casting your lots. This modern use is much closer to a very practical sorting method that leads to what Jung would call synchronicity. That means, when you are on the right path, the right people and opportunities come before you. Used properly, the results may help you may feel like you're on a roll, or in the flow somehow. You're back on your game. As described by the author, this simply is the result of clearing mental clutter of over rationalization, and seeing what will actually work.
Through my own use of this method, the result includes being able to see the reason the problem was there in the first place. To me, that's better than any external advice I may have taken, or any struggle to do something that seemed more comfortable.
After hearing the interview in 2011, I read the book and used the method to sort through ugly choices in a difficult situation. I felt none of the answers available would turn out well. The most important part of this is that I not only reread the steps, and listened carefully again to the interview and had a thorough understanding of how it works. I followed through carefully on the method, and followed up by using the answer. As the author suggests, in that moment, I also realized that was the answer, even though it felt uncomfortable. It took a little while to see the way in which that event actually lead to something better than my imagination and fears supposed. It also included some very fortunate timing. Had I resisted, I would have had another issue to deal with, about six months later.
Again, the most important part of success with the chit method is to follow the instructions and not overlook any part of it. I am sold on this way of getting things back in sync whenever inertia results from overthinking.
As with the Sounds True interviewer, sometimes the voice of reason does not know when to reason with itself. Given how often those circumstances play into our lives, I wish more people would discover and learn to use what Meg Lundstrom offers us in this book.
