Today, it's just me. I haven't yet addressed the puzzle of the upcoming school year, and I feel like I should. So that's what we're doing, even though I don't have a guest to do it with. It's not my place to tell you what to do here, but I can give you a tool for how to address the decision.
In this episode, I walk you through a decision-making approach I use that involves looking at the values which undergird an issue in order to figure out how best to address it. In this case, the issue is how to approach the 2020-2021 school year for our children, but this approach can be used in lots of areas.
