The 7 Questions I Use When I’m Stuck
In the Bootcamp, one line landed for me: the difference isn’t “more information.” It’s better implementation.
When I’m stuck, I don’t try to think harder. I run a simple decision protocol.
The 7-question decision framework
1 - What exactly is the decision (one sentence)?
2 - What does “good” look like in 30 days?
3 - What are the constraints (time/cash/energy/ethics)?
4- What are the trade-offs (what am I saying no to)?
5 - What’s the biggest unknown—and how can I test it fast?
6 - What’s the smallest next step (<30 minutes) that reduces uncertainty?
7 - If I had to commit for 2 weeks, which option is most reversible?
Copy/paste prompt (use it right now)
You are my calm decision coach. Use the 7 questions above. Ask them one by one and wait for my answer each time. Then:
summarize my answers,
give me 2–3 options with trade-offs,
recommend the most reversible option for a 2-week commitment,
and end with the smallest next step I can do in under 30 minutes.
My decision (one sentence): ___
What “good” looks like in 30 days: ___
Constraints (time/cash/energy/ethics): ___
If you want, reply with your one-sentence decision + one constraint and I’ll suggest a 30-minute next step.
Or, for low friction: reply with clarity / courage / constraints (what you need most this week).
