The prompt · ChatGPT
I'm facing a big life decision and I'd like help thinking it through. The decision: [e.g. move to another city, leave my job, go back to study] What's pulling me towards it: [list] What's holding me back: [list] Who else it affects: [e.g. partner, kids, parents] When I need to decide: [date or "no deadline"] Act as a calm, thoughtful coach. Ask me 6 to 8 questions, two at a time, about my values, fears, money and what I'd regret. Wait for my answers each time. Then give me: 1. A short summary of what I've told you matters most. 2. My realistic options (including a middle way if there is one). 3. The best and worst realistic outcome of each. 4. One small step I could take this week to learn more. Don't push me either way. Plain UK English. Stay in this ChatGPT chat. Do not turn on apps or connectors, and do not use memory from another chat.
