Journal Prompts · Decisions, Written Down

Decisions, Written Down.

For choices you keep replaying in your head. Write down what you chose and what you expected, then check back later. Future-you gets a record instead of a blurry memory.

  1. What decision is in front of you right now? State it in one sentence.
  2. List the options you're choosing between. Is anything missing from the list?
  3. Which option would you pick if no one ever found out?
  4. What would you do if both options were reversible?
  5. Write down what you expect to happen if you follow your gut. Add today's date.
  6. What does deciding nothing this week cost you?
  7. Whose advice are you hoping will match what you already want to do?
  8. Name one thing you know now that you didn't when this choice first appeared.
  9. Look back at a choice from last month: what did you predict, and what happened?
  10. What's the smallest test you could run before committing?
  11. Finish this: If I'm wrong about this, it's probably because ___.
  12. Which decision are you re-deciding, even though you already settled it?
