10-10-10 decision helper
The 10-10-10 method, popularised by Suzy Welch's 2009 book of the same name, asks how a decision will look on three time horizons. It helps separate the sting of the moment from what you will care about later.
How it works
Write the decision in one line, name two options and, for each one, jot how you expect to feel in ten minutes, ten months and ten years. Then give each horizon a quick score. The tool shows a weighted score for each option and a short reading of the gap.
The writing matters more than the numbers. People often find that the ten-minute column is full of fear of awkward conversations, while the ten-year column says something much clearer. For a fuller walkthrough, read how to use 10-10-10 to get unstuck and how to make better decisions that move you forward.
When not to rely on it
Some decisions need facts before feelings: a medical choice, a large loan, a legal matter. Use this tool to understand your own priorities, then get proper advice for the facts.
Questions people ask
What do the scores mean?
They are your own gut ratings from -5 (very bad) to +5 (very good) for each time horizon. The tool averages them with the weighting you choose. The number is a summary of your thinking, not an objective answer.
Why weight the long term more by default?
Short-term discomfort tends to loom large when we decide, and it fades. Leaning on the 10-year view is a deliberate counterweight. Switch to equal or short-term weighting if the decision really is about the near future.
