What this guide covers

What this guide covers

What it is

Weigh one decision on paper

You list what doing it would bring, for you and for people close to you.

Why it helps

See every side at once

Writing it all down puts every consideration in view at the same time.

  • Not a verdict the totals do not decide for you
  • Your weights 1 matters a little, 5 a lot
  • Clearer, not pushed use it to see, not to force

Filling it in

Fifteen minutes, one area at a time

Write the decision, then the gains and losses, then how it would feel.

Name the decision

Write it as one thing to do, like taking a job.

List gains and losses

For you and people close to you, weighted 1 to 5.

Add how it would feel

How you would see yourself, and how others would see it.
