This is not an 'NLP Technique' as such but taken from Neuroscience research on stage magic.

Despite what we might think we're not good at multi tasking. This approach stops us ignoring what might be important.

When making a difficult decision such as hiring someone, accepting a job offer or such like:

1) Make a list of all the titbits of information you have, no matter how unimportant you think they are.

2) List them in rough priority swquence

3) Sequentially and carefully focus on each one individually

4) As you focus consider the ramification of each with regard to logic, emotion and intuition - allow a few second between each

5) When you've gone through each one you will be in the best position to make a decision or re-focus on the most important
