The decision in front of me is {{decision}}.
Copy this prompt
The decision in front of me is {{decision}}. First judge its reversibility: (1) estimate the cost of undoing it — time, money, relationships, reputation; (2) classify as nearly irreversible / reversible within six months / reversible within a week; (3) prescribe how much research each tier deserves — two weeks for irreversible, at most two hours for weekly-reversible; (4) assess whether my current level of agonizing matches the reversibility, since most agonizing happens over trivially reversible things; (5) give me one decision rule.Replace the {{variables}} with your own details, then paste the whole block into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or any other assistant. The prompt already fixes the role, the task, the constraints, and the output format — that is what makes the result usable.
我要做的决定是 {{决策}}。请先判断它的可逆性:1) 如果做错了,撤回的成本有多大(时间、钱、关系、声誉),分别估算;2) 归入「几乎不可逆 / 半年内可逆 / 一周内可逆」哪一档;3) 根据档位给出我该投入的调研时间——不可逆的值得花两周,一周可逆的最多花两小时;4) 指出我现在的纠结程度是否与它的可逆性匹配(大多数纠结都发生在可逆的小事上);5) 给一句决策规则。The decision in front of me is {{decision}}.
