Compare options and competing needs · S10.18

Compare the reasons on both sides of a choice

You feel pulled toward and away from the same option.

Everyday practice

Try these steps

1. Write what attracts you to the option and what concerns you about it.
2. Mark which reasons are your own priorities and which reflect other people's expectations.
3. Choose a decision, a small reversible trial, or a specific piece of information you need first.

An example

I want to join the course because the topic interests me; I worry about time, not ability. I can check the weekly workload.

Reflect

Which reason carries the most weight for you?

Next time

Revisit only when your circumstances or information change, rather than restarting the list endlessly.
