Pros and Cons
The Pros and Cons skill helps you make decisions. Using this skill will help you consider your options.
The Pros are benefits, or helpful things, that might happen if you make a decision.
The Cons are costs, or negative things, that might happen if you make a decision.
Using a pros and cons list helps you figure out how a decision might hurt you, and how a decision might help you.
It is important to consider both the long-term and short-term outcomes of decisions. This helps you plan for the future.
Try to make a Pros and Cons before a decision is made. This will help you make better decisions and feel more informed.
This is what a Pros and Cons list looks like:
