I also believe that brainstorming is really an essential thing to do especially if you're coming up with a decision. It is weighing the pros and cons of something that's significant and will matter a lot to you. Our grade school teacher used to make us do a lot of brainstorming back then and I think that one helped me a lot in decision-making now that I've already grown up. :)
