The Prompt

Copy-Paste Ready

I am stuck on this decision: [DESCRIBE IN YOUR OWN WORDS] You are not allowed to decide for me. Instead: 1) Summarise the choice in neutral language. 2) List the best case, worst case, and most likely case for each serious option. 3) Point out 3 cognitive biases I might be under (sunk cost, fear of regret, social pressure, etc.) in plain language. 4) Suggest 5 factual questions I should answer before choosing — things I could google, ask a person, or measure. 5) Offer a simple 7-day experiment I can run to get real-world data before I commit. Keep the tone kind and direct. Say once that you are not a lawyer, doctor, or financial adviser.
