Decision-making worksheet

Weighing the Options

A structured way to look at a hard choice one value at a time, so the decision reflects what actually matters to you. Adapted from the textbook Helping Skills by Clara E. Hill.

1

Name your options

The paths you're actually choosing between.

2

List your values & weigh them

What matters in this decision? Give each a weight 1–10, then rate every option −3 to +3 looking only at that one value.

Weight 1–10: how much this value matters Rating −3 to +3: +3 delivers perfectly · 0 neutral · −3 works against it
3

Sit with the result

Does the leading option feel right? Surprising? The number is a starting point, not a verdict.
