The Deathbed Test is a technique developed by Pete Michaud that helps you decide how to handle difficult decisions. Simply, reflect on your present decision from the perspective of your deathbed. Then, "do what you will have wished you had done while looking back on your life from your death bed. If it won't matter, then do whatever—flip a coin." Michaud says. [1] This concept was first presented to me by @Tim Urban when discussed in @Tribe of Mentors and was immediately implemented as defense against @Other People's Priorities.
