The Decision Filter

Planning · 3-page PDF · 15-25 minutes

A worksheet for slowing down a decision before it creates a bigger problem.

What this workbook helps you do

Pressure can make a decision feel urgent before the facts are clear. Write down the actual choice, the deadline, and what happens if you wait. Compare the options against your responsibilities and values. A trusted person can challenge your reasoning without making the decision for you.

A practice example

A young man is offered a costly purchase on a short deadline. He asks for the full price and terms, checks his existing obligations, and considers walking away.
