Decision Maker: How It Works

Often in life there are times when you need to make a decision about an issue, opportunity, or direction to take. For example, a decision as important as 'my next career move', or as seemingly simple as 'where to go on holiday'. Sometimes when you have many different options to choose from, the decision of which option to go with can seem overwhelming.

The Life by Design® Decision Maker is a tool to help you prioritise a number of different options. It does this by asking you to look at each option compared to each other option, without having to think about the whole list of options all at once. It is then able to present you with your list of options in the order of importance that you have rated them.

Step 1
The first step is to enter the decision, issue or question that you would like to make a decision on. For example, where should I go for my next holiday?

Step 2
You then need to list the possible options that you have, from which you need to choose the best. For example, with our question above, the options might be England, Mexico, Thailand, USA, Peru, and Far North Queensland. You can have up to 10 possible options, but you don't need to use all 10, just as many as you need.

Step 3
Then click on the 'Let's Decide' button. The Decision Maker will take you through each option comparison and at the end present you with your prioritised list, which you can then print out.

If you decide that you need to refine your original question, or change your list of options, click on 'Start Over'. You can use the Decision Maker as many times as you like, and with as many variations as you like, to help make your decision.
