When you need to make a decision, it may be hard to compare all the positive and negative aspects of the matter. The best way to make up your mind is to write down all the advantages and disadvantages, viewed from all the perspectives.
You can do that in the old school way, by writing on a piece of paper, or you can be more innovative and simplify this process.
How? This pros and cons list template will help you make the best decision.
The traditional pro and con list written on a paper was a great idea back in the days when technology was not as advanced as it is today.
Firstly, you need to have the paper and the pen with you. Secondly, you will have more ideas that may not fit on that paper properly. Not to mention that the handwriting could be not understandable to other people and will be a mess.
On the other hand, when you create a pros and cons list template in a digital format, all you need to do is fill the placeholder fields.
Why is it better? Firstly, it takes a few minutes. Secondly, it can be easily editable, it looks organized, and anyone can understand it immediately. In addition, you can access it anytime, anywhere from your mobile or laptop. It’s more convenient, and you can easily make the best decision when all arguments are illustrated clearly.
Listing the advantages and disadvantages is very simple when using this template.Firstly, add the topic you want to reflect on and then the pro and con list.
Think about all sides of the argument when you fill in the mind map. Once you start writing, more ideas will cross your mind. You can do this brainstorming session along with your team members. This way, you can gather more ideas.
It can be a brainstorming exercise where you let your ideas flow naturally. Make sure you add simple words and short phrases to the topics to keep them simple.
You can add icons and images to make the mind map more exciting or to highlight certain aspects. If you want to add more details, use the notes section.
Moreover, you can add links or documents if it is the case.
Once the template is filled out, you get a clear overview of the matter.
Compared to other complicated pro and cons charts or handwritten lists, this mind map gives you a simple and easier-to-understand overview.
You can compare all the arguments and decide what option is best for you.
You can use this mind map to decide whether to apply to a particular University, invest, buy a new car, or make any kind of decision. It is a versatile tool you can use in any circumstance you need to make up your mind.
Let’s illustrate how to fill in the template if you want to decide if it’s worth it to buy a new car.
Listing the advantages, you can point out:
Reliability
Less pollution
Comfort
Lower maintenance costs
However, the disadvantages can be:
Expensive
Need to take a loan
Depreciation of value
Sentimental reasons
As you can notice in the above example, all the arguments added are written in simple and short words/phrases. There are no long phrases explaining the arguments (you can do this in the notes section). This way, it is easier to read and understand when you show or share this information with other people.
Focus on what is important to you, not to others. Don’t add ideas you are unsure about, or you do not feel these resonate with you.
The advantages and disadvantages are the pros and cons of a certain topic, that each person considers thoroughly before making a bigger decision.
