Own The Chair · Decision worksheet

Pros & Cons Wheel

When a decision only lives in your head, it tends to go in circles. Every option starts to blur together, the loudest worry wins, and it's hard to tell what you actually want from what you're afraid of.

Putting your options down on paper changes that. You slow down, see each option side by side, and weigh them against the things that truly matter to you. Patterns show up, your gut gets a voice, and the choice becomes clearer and easier to stand behind.

This worksheet walks you through it: choose what matters, rate each option, reflect on what stands out, and leave with one small step you can take this week.

1

What am I deciding?

Write the decision as a question.

2

Choose what matters in this decision

These are the categories you'll rate every option on. Keep the suggested ones, rename any of them, remove what doesn't apply, or add your own. Under each name, describe what a 1 and a 10 look like, so a 10 is always the best result for you.

    Rate and weigh each option

    Click or drag inside each slice of the wheel, or use the sliders. Each category shows what a 1 and a 10 mean. Leave a slider at 0 if you can't say yet; unrated categories don't count toward the fit.

    For each category, ask yourself: how confident am I that this option does well here?

    1Not confident at all / weak 5Unsure / average 10Very confident / strong

    Compare side by side

    Each option's fit is based on the average of the categories you rated, so a half-rated option isn't penalized. Click a small wheel to jump to that option, or open the full scorecard to see every rating side by side. Use the scores as a guide; if the numbers and your gut disagree, explore why.
