How it works

Nine small steps, one decision at a time

You see one step per screen, you can pause anywhere, and everything you write stays yours.

  1. How it feels

    Name how it feels, in your words. Nothing is interpreted back at you.

  2. Your question

    Write the question you are actually asking. A few plain rules suggest sharper wording, and you keep or ignore them.

  3. Importance

    Say how much this weighs, when it needs attention, and how much energy you have for it right now.

  4. Possibilities

    List what you could do. Staying undecided and taking a small reversible step both count.

  5. What matters

    Choose up to three things that genuinely matter to you here, and how much each one weighs.

  6. Weighting

    Choose up to three things that genuinely matter to you here, and how much each one weighs.

  7. Evaluation

    Hold your possibilities against your own criteria, side by side.

  8. Compass

    See your own reasoning gathered in one view. It reflects what you said, it does not rank it for you.

  9. Commitment

    Decide what you will actually do next, and by when. Or decide to wait, on purpose.

  10. Reflection

    Come back later and write what happened. That is where the learning lives.

Over time

The part that keeps paying off

Each finished decision settles on your map with the reasoning attached. Months later you can see how you weigh things, where you hesitate, and what you would trust yourself to do again.
