About
This tool began, years ago, as a little flowchart I made for myself. A kind of back-pocket compass for those moments when a job offer landed in my inbox and my first instinct was to say yes before I’d even had time to ask: should I take this job?
I’ve learned (the hard way, more than once) that money is rarely the only factor worth weighing. There’s also time. Energy. Curiosity. Alignment with the things you actually care about and the work you want to be known for.
Now, having returned to freelancing, I’ve come back to this little decision tree and turned it into a simple website. For myself and maybe for others too. It offers a pause, a chance to step back, to think out loud with yourself before you commit to something.
Whether you follow the tree’s advice or ignore it entirely is up to you. Either way, you’ve given the decision the attention it deserves.
