What to do when you don't know what to do

Making decision from available information in our memories is easy. It's  easy because of availability heuristic and schemas we use to make sense of the world. But when facing ambiguity, duress and urgency, tension climbs rapidly.

For example, your ex girlfriend you love so much, had married but you still love her. She has keep a distance and moved on for quite a long time. One of your happy days she started sending you photos of her better self, looking more beautiful than you met her.

What should you do?

This is quite difficult to determine her intentions without more understanding of this context. However, she might be seeking attention, trying to stay connected as friends, or just sharing moments from her life. 

It seems it may make you uncomfortable, to consider expressing your feelings, or setting boundaries for your own well-being. But it's hard.

Secondly, armed robbers break into your house, with guns demanding money from you. One brandish the gun and put it right on your forehead but your wallet is empty.. what should you do in this situation.

In such a dangerous situation, prioritize your safety. Stay calm, avoid making sudden movements, and explain that your wallet is empty. Comply with their demands and avoid escalating the situation. Report the incident to the authorities as soon as it's safe to do so.

Ideally, it would be a part of, if not central to, their self-identity and lifestyle and reflect a higher-order value proposition, much beyond the benefits provided by the offering. To illustrate, Pampers went beyond diapers by creating the Pampers Village community that provides a “go to” place for all issues relating to babies and child care. Its five sections – pregnancy, newborn, baby, toddler, and preschooler – all have a menu of topics. Its online ...
