What is the Method behind the DecisionMaker?

This powerful decision-making system combines two methods to give you complete clarity:

The Weighted Scoring Method removes emotion by having you:

Identify what matters most (your criteria)
Rank their importance (1-7)
Score how well each option meets each criterion (1-7)

The 10/10/10 Timeframe Method reveals emotional truth by asking how you'll feel about each choice:

In 10 minutes - Your immediate emotional reaction
In 10 months - Your medium-term perspective
In 10 years - Your long-term life view

Often, what feels urgent right now becomes insignificant with time. What scores highest logically might not feel right emotionally. When both methods point to the same answer, you have unshakeable clarity.

Example: "Should I quit my job today after a bad meeting?"

Weighted scores might show staying wins (financial security, benefits)
10/10/10 shows: 10 minutes = relieved, 10 months = regret acting impulsively, 10 years = grateful you didn't burn bridges
Both methods agree: Don't quit impulsively

Tips for Using The DecisionMaker Effectively:

Write freely without judging yourself - this is private reflection
Be honest about fears and motivations - you can't make good decisions based on denial
If you're struggling, start with 10 years first - it often provides the clearest perspective
If scoring feels uncertain, give your best estimate - patterns emerge even with rough numbers
Trust the process - the answer often becomes clear by the time you finish

The Decision I'm Facing

Write it as clearly and specifically as possible. What exactly are you deciding?

Suggest options for me

My Options

List all the realistic choices you have. Include "do nothing" if that's an option. You can add as many options as you like.

Option

What Matters Most To Me?

Identify the criteria that will determine your choice and rank their importance (1-7, where 7 = very important). This will help you weight your decision objectively.

Criteria will appear here after the decision input is filled and at least two options are added.

Score each option

Add options to rate this criterion for each option.

Option	Importance	Score #1	Score #2	Score #3	Score #4	Score #5

What's Driving This Decision?

Why are you making this choice now? What triggered this decision point?

How will I feel 10 minutes after I decide?

This captures your immediate emotional reaction - relief, regret, anxiety, excitement?

Consider for each option:

Will I feel relieved or anxious?

Will I want to immediately undo it?

What emotion will hit me first?

Option

How do I think I will feel 10 months from now?

This is your medium-term reality check - after the initial emotions fade, what will my life actually look like?

Consider for each option:

How will my daily life be different?

Will I be glad I chose this path?

What consequences will I be living with?

Will I still care about what bothers me today?

Option

How do I think I will feel 10 years from now?

This is your wisdom perspective - looking back from the future, what would I wish I had done?

Consider for each option:

Will this decision even matter?

What would I regret NOT trying?

Which path leads toward the life I want?

What story will I tell about this moment?

Option

Gut Check: The Clarity Questions

After reflecting across all three timeframes, answer these honestly:

One option keeps standing out across all timeframes

I'm choosing based on fear rather than possibility

The short-term discomfort is worth the long-term gain

I'm trying to please others instead of myself

This decision aligns with who I want to become

I'd regret NOT trying this more than trying and failing

What Am I Most Afraid Of?

Name your fear specifically. Often our decisions are blocked by unspoken worries.

What's My Intuition Telling Me?

Beneath all the analysis and timeframes, what does your gut say?

"We overestimate what we can do in 10 minutes, underestimate what we can do in 10 months, and forget to think about 10 years at all."
