What is the PACED decision making process?

The PACED decision-making process is a structured approach that helps individuals make informed choices. PACED stands for Problem, Alternatives, Criteria, Evaluate, and Decide. First, identify the problem, then list the alternatives available, establish criteria for evaluating those alternatives, assess how each option meets the criteria, and finally, make a decision based on that analysis. This method promotes rational thinking and helps ensure that decisions are well thought out.
