The prompt

I’m choosing between and . What pulls me toward the first: . What pulls me toward the second: . Don’t make a pros and cons list, and don’t pick for me. First, describe each option as a bet: what am I betting on if I choose it? Then name the one trade-off this choice comes down to, in a single sentence I could say out loud. Finish with the question I’d have to answer honestly to settle it. If any of my reasons sound like what I think I should want, not what I want, point that out and label it as a guess.
