About this template

⁠

Copy doc

⁠

Clear sample data

Input your own decision question.

In Step 1, type an item – such as, “I would miss my neighborhood” – into the text box, then click one of the buttons to add as a pro or con.

For inspiration, click the yellow button to generate a brainstorming prompt.

In Step 2, add a weight for each item on a scale of 1 to 5, where 1 are the smallest impact items and 5 are the largest.

When you’re done, open Step 3 to see your total balance.
