1. Write in
the choices you have regarding this decision, e.g. drinking -
quitting; procrastinating - doing it now; smoking - not
smoking.
2. Write in
as many advantages and disadvantages as you can for each
option, trying to be as specific as you can. You can come back
to this form whenever you think of anything new to add - take
your time.
3. For each
item you have written down, consider whether it is something
that will happen soon or later. For example, the pleasure of
using alcohol is immediate, while the hangover is tomorrow.
Underline short term consequences and circle long term results.
See any patterns?
4. What
conclusions can you draw? What decision is supported?
