The Priority Compass

A reflection tool for money decisions. The best decision on paper isn't always the right decision for you. The Priority Compass doesn't give you advice, or tell you what to do, but it will help you extract the emotional and personal data that will form the rationality of your choice.

Before you begin

Five minutes. Mostly taps, no writing. You'll be weighing one specific money decision; the fork that you're currently standing at.

The process targets the psychology of the dilemma. It does not take into account the numbers and doesn't provide advice. Bring the question, leave with a clearer sight of the answer.

Movement 1 of 6

Name the fork

Which decision are you weighing up? Pick the one closest to what's on your mind. If none fit, use the last option to name it yourself.

Is this decision yours alone, or shared with a partner?

The pull and the push

For each option, two quick taps. The first feeling that comes up, and what choosing it would protect you from.

If you chose , what would the dominant feeling be?
What would choosing protect you from?

The two mirrors

Two questions. The gap between them is the data.

If no one ever knew what you chose, which option would you pick?
If you had to announce it at a family dinner, which would you pick?
Movement 4 of 6

The ease, the edge, the confidence

Which option pulls you, which one challenges you, and how clearly you understand what you're looking at.

Which option feels easiest to move toward?
Which option makes you most uncomfortable?
For the uncomfortable one, what's the discomfort closest to?
If an adviser asked you to explain each option back to them in your own words, how would that go?

The partner question

Two taps. You flagged this as a shared decision.

Which option does the other person lean toward?
How confident are you in that answer?
