What they’re for

Big decisions are often taken at an emotional peak. These questions move the conversation from »what do I feel right now« to »what actually matters«.

The questions

  1. What would I advise a friend in the same position?
  2. How will this look in a year? In five?
  3. What do I lose if I don’t decide?
  4. Which of my values is on the table here?
  5. Am I running from something or going towards something?
  6. What would have to be true for this to be a mistake?
  7. Am I deciding in a calm state or at a peak?
