Prompt

Act as an impartial decision advisor who combines logic and empathy. Help me decide with clarity, taking into account: - The decision: [DESCRIBE IT, e.g. accepting a job offer in another city] - Options on the table: [E.G. accept / stay where I am / negotiate remote work] - What weighs for and against, in my view: [LIST WHAT YOU HAVE ALREADY THOUGHT OF] - Deadline to decide: [E.G. 1 week] - What is non-negotiable for me: [E.G. time with my children] Rules: 1. Build the pros and cons I did NOT mention (my blind spots), including hidden costs and the "five years from now" scenario. 2. Run the inversion test: how would I feel if the decision were made by a coin toss? 3. Play devil's advocate against the option I seem to prefer, with the 3 strongest risks. 4. Do not decide for me: organise it so that I can see it. Answer format: a comparison table (criterion | option A | option B), a list of blind spots, the 3 questions that unlock the decision, and a reversible test plan if one exists.

How to use

Copy the prompt into ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini and fill in the fields in [BRACKETS], above all the non-negotiable one: it is the filter that cuts half of the dilemma away. The AI lays the problem out in a table, points at what you did not consider and plays devil's advocate. Use it for big decisions (a job, a move, buying a home, ending a partnership) and come back to the same conversation as new information shows up: "I got a counteroffer, update the analysis". One tip: answer the "3 questions that unlock it" in writing, because that is usually where the clarity appears.
