How to Make the Most of Your Time

Instead of aiming for consensus every time, consider taking turns and letting everyone choose exactly what they want when it is their turn. For your book club, all the members could take turns choosing the book. At a small plates restaurant, if each person orders the two or three dishes they are most excited about, and then you share them all, it tends to work out. You know you will be thrilled with the option every time your turn rolls around.
