Major Decision Worksheet Printable, 3 Layouts, Weighted Scoring & Pre-Mortem Analysis, Fillable PDF, A4 Letter

A structured worksheet for navigating major life decisions. Three layout options: a side-by-side option comparison with a gut-check scoring section, a weighted factor analysis for complex choices with competing priorities, and a pre-mortem analysis that stress-tests your leading option before you commit.

This template includes 3 layout options on separate pages. Print or fill the one that fits your style, or try them all.

📋 HOW IT WORKS

Each page starts with a focused reflection prompt. Choose the layout that matches your situation:

OPTION COMPARISON: Two columns for two options. Six comparison rows for the factors that matter to you, plus a four-dimension gut-check scoring section (excitement, values alignment, long-term fit, confidence). When the facts say one thing and your gut says another, that gap is the most important thing on the page.

WEIGHTED FACTOR SCORING: List up to six factors, assign a weight (1 to 10) based on how much each one matters, then score up to three options on each factor. Summary rows for weighted total, values alignment, and gut rank. For decisions where multiple priorities compete and you need to see which option wins across all of them.

PRE-MORTEM ANALYSIS: Start with your leading option. Now imagine it failed. What went wrong? List the failure scenarios, sort them into preventable risks and acceptable risks, then decide whether the analysis changes your choice. Based on research by psychologist Gary Klein. This layout is not about choosing between options; it is about stress-testing the one you are leaning toward.

Hole-punch friendly margins on both sides. Fits any binder or planner system.
