Ourling

Check in when advice is welcome

Ask what decision the other person wants help with and what they have already considered.

Try this

  1. Identify the decision and any options already ruled out before offering suggestions.
  2. Ask what constraint matters most, then give one possible approach with the cost or effort it would involve. Avoid overwhelming the person with an unrequested list.

A worked example

“Which part would you like another perspective on?”

An invented example to adapt, not a real exchange or a script you have to follow.

Before you leave it here

Offer one possibility with its tradeoff, then return the decision to the person who asked.

This is a voluntary planning exercise. Keep your notes private, adapt the language, and leave any question unanswered. It does not require Ourling or a purchase.
