The Decision Blueprint

Are you making decisions, or just winging it?

Every decision you make shapes your future. But how often do we truly stop to think critically before choosing?

Most of us rely on intuition or snap judgments for life’s most important decisions —and that’s where mistakes creep in.

The Decision Blueprint is here to navigate you through your thinking and hence, the decision making process.

Think of it as quality control for your thinking.

Using The Decision Blueprint isn’t complicated, but it does require discipline and humility.

It helps you capture the essence of consequential decisions—the context, the variables, the expected outcomes, and even your mental state at the time—so you can make better choices and avoid costly mistakes.

Here’s why it works:

• Writing before deciding forces you to confront your assumptions and blind spots.
• Revisiting your entries later reveals patterns in your thinking, allowing you to learn and improve.
• It helps combat hindsight bias and vague reasoning by anchoring you to the facts and emotions present when the decision was made.

What’s inside?
Whenever you have to make a consequential decision, The Decision Blueprint prompts you to log:

• The situation or context.
• The problem statement or decision frame.
• Variables, complications, and alternatives you considered.
• Your expected outcomes, reasoning, and confidence levels.
• How you felt physically and mentally when making the decision.

Why it’s a game-changer:

• Catch mistakes early: Writing clarifies your thoughts and highlights gaps in your understanding.
• Improve over time: Reviewing your decisions regularly shows you what worked, what didn’t, and why.
• Stay accountable: By documenting your process, you can’t wiggle out of decisions with vague reasoning or hindsight bias.

The Decision Blueprint is not meant to sit on your shelf or stored away in some random folder —it’s a tool to revisit and refine your decision-making process regularly.

Over time, you’ll discover patterns, identify areas for improvement, and make choices with greater confidence and clarity.

Transform the way you make decisions today. With The Decision Blueprint, you’ll not only think better—you’ll live better.
