You can apply Cartesian coordinates to decisions in order to check your ecology and refine your outcomes. You can try this on a decision you’re considering. Here they are:

If I do X, what will happen?

If I do X, what will not happen?

If I don’t do X, what will happen?

If I don’t do X, what will not happen?

Imagine anything that you hadn’t thought of yet, or any way that these questions help you put things into perspective.
