Stay or Stop? A Rational Decision Tree (EN + NL)

Stay or Stop? – A Rational Decision Tree

This is a practical decision tool for moments where continuing feels wrong, but stopping feels uncertain.

No motivation talk.
No coaching language.
No endless reflection.

Just a clear decision framework you can actually use.

What this is

A structured decision tree that helps you decide whether to:

• stay and actively change things,
• stay temporarily with a clear exit plan,
• make one final, serious attempt,
• or stop — rationally and without guilt.

It’s designed for situations where:

• you feel stuck,
• you’ve already thought about it a lot,
• and adding more nuance only makes the decision harder.

More complexity does not improve this decision — it only delays it.

What you get

• 2 printable PDFs
  • English version (EN)
  • Dutch version (NL)
• Each PDF includes:
  • a clean visual decision tree
  • a textual decision path that mirrors the tree exactly
• Designed for clarity, not persuasion

Who this is for

• Professionals facing a difficult “stay or stop” decision
• People who overthink but value structure
• Anyone who wants a rational conclusion, not reassurance

This works for decisions about:

• work or roles
• long-term projects
• commitments, collaborations, or responsibilities

What this is not

• Not therapy
• Not coaching
• Not self-help
• Not motivational

It won’t tell you what you should feel.
It helps you decide what is logically consistent.
