DECISION MAKING 259. Do Nothing Compare all of your possible solutions to the one option that’s always available: Do Nothing. There’s always work that could be done, but given bigger priorities, limited resources, or purely for your own sanity, sometimes you shouldn’t do a project. “Do Nothing” may not be the best solution for an 1 individual project , but sometimes it might be the best solution for you, your team, and your company. 1 Sometimes “Do Nothing” still is the best option. In the original version of the game Space Invaders, the designer discovered that, due to hardware limitations, the level got faster as you killed more aliens. This wasn’t intentional, but rather than try to “fix” the problem, he left it in as a way of making the game more challenging. AKA he did nothing. See Space Invaders. 135
