单向和双向门的决定
Decisions are something that we have to do many times a day and having a heuristic for decision making can make us much more efficient and effective. I was researching product development at Amazon when the concept of one-way and two-way door decisions came up.
决策是我们每天都要做很多次的事情，有一个启发式的决策方法可以使我们更有效率和效果。 我在亚马逊研究产品开发的时候，出现了单向和双向门的决策概念。
What are one-way and two-way door decisions? One-way door decisions are decisions that you can't easily reverse. These decisions need to be done carefully. Two-way door decisions can be reversed. You can walk through the door, see if you like it, and if not go back. These decisions can be made fast or even automated.
什么是单行门和双行门决定？单向门的决定是你不能轻易扭转的决定。这些决定需要谨慎进行。 双向门的决定是可以扭转的。 你可以走过这扇门，看看你是否喜欢它，如果不喜欢就回去。 这些决定可以快速做出，甚至是自动做出。
Even if you have to make a one-way door decision, there are still ways of limiting your risk. Getting good at recognising what kind of decision you need to make and then being able to make that decision quickly can give you a competitive advantage.
即使你不得不做出一个单向的决定，仍然有办法限制你的风险。 善于识别你需要做出什么样的决定，然后能够迅速做出决定，可以使你获得竞争优势。
Identifying One-way and Two-way Door Decisions
识别单向和双向的门的决定
One-way door decisions are ones that you can't reverse or take too much effort/expense to rollback. These decisions are usually strategic decisions that require a fair amount of information and deliberation. Fortunately, one-way door decisions usually don't need to be rushed.
单向门的决定是那些你无法逆转或需要花费太多精力/费用来回溯的决定。 这些决定通常是战略决策，需要相当数量的信息和考虑。 幸运的是，单行门的决定通常不需要急于求成。
Two-way door decisions are ones that you can rollback easily. If they don't work out as planned, then you can reverse them and try something else. Because these decisions don't carry many risks, you can make them quickly. If they happen often enough, you can even automate them so you can focus your energy on other decisions.
双向门的决定是那些你可以轻易回退的决定。 如果它们没有按计划进行，那么你可以推翻它们，尝试其他的东西。 因为这些决定没有太多风险，所以你可以快速做出决定。 如果它们发生得足够频繁，你甚至可以将它们自动化，这样你就可以将精力集中在其他决策上。
