One filter I use for making decisions: How much can I influence the outcome after the initial choice is made?
When I can do a lot to influence the outcome, I'm less worried about risk. Even if the choice appears risky on the surface, I can likely create a good outcome with effort.
When I can't do much to influence the outcome, I'm more risk averse. Even my best effort won't move the needle. Your ability to influence the outcome after a decision is made is a crucial thing to consider.
The TEAM! @Seneca_High’s annual summer retreat. We learned, discussed, & applied: strategies from David Holden, our new cell phone policy, @AcademiesofLou 101, tech tips, access for ALL students. Oh, and a visit to the KFC museum! Thanks to our host @yumbrands 🍗🍕🌮 #SenecaSoars

A strategy for thinking clearly:
Rather than trying to be right, assume you are wrong and try to be less wrong.
Trying to be right has a tendency to devolve into protecting your beliefs.
Trying to be less wrong has a tendency to prompt more questions and intellectual humility.
