Work through a difficult decision
A practical sequence for decisions with real trade-offs, not just a missing task list.
Let both sides be true
Begin in NOTE if the decision still feels loaded or contradictory. Write the case for each direction and the cost you are trying to avoid.
Find the real tension
Move to NOW when you can name the question. Stay with what makes the decision hard rather than asking for a quick answer.
Commit to the next honest move
Use NEXT to turn the clarity into a move: a conversation, constraint, experiment, or protected block of work. The goal is movement with integrity, not certainty.
