SELF- Improve Your Decision Making Skills.
The Problem
- In today’s world, we’re constantly distracted and stimulated (social media, etc..)
In this reality, it is difficult to decide what is best for us and how to make an authentic decision. - Decision-making is a cognitive process resulting in selecting a belief or a course of action among several possible alternative options.
Every decision-making process produces a final choice, which may or may not prompt action. sometimes we are so attached to our beliefs that we cant make the right decision for ourselves.
Some decisions are so simple that you’re barely aware you’re making them, while others are time consuming, high risk, and can leave you feeling anxious. Decisions can make or break a project or an entire business. And they often involve complex and unpredictable interpersonal issues, too. (written by mind tool content team)
User Survey- identify the needs
To better understand the problem and potential users’ specific pain points, I surveyed 130 people and asked them how they decide.
what helps them make a better decision and what difficulties they have in the process.
The Most Important Question in the survey was “What is the biggest challenge you face when you need to make a decision.”
The problem of the potential users was:
- The difficulty to make a decision alone,
- The fear of missing out the other option,
- The sense of regretting of their act.
The Persona
My main persona is Chen,
32-year-old teacher that “suffers” from insecurity and fear of making the right decision.
She wants to learn something new and expand her areas of knowledge but she is uncertain between Medical studies or mysticism.
The decision-making process can include obtaining advice from a person who specializes in the relevant field of knowledge. that’s why the app contains a section of mentoring- inspiration sentences by attribute role models.

Design Process- UI flows and screens

Fonts

to give the app a special and unique look with an edge of rounded letters to make it more personal and elegant.
In the text, i used CIRCULAR STD font to make it readable and clear.
COLORS
To make the users feel calm and secure about their decision i used various shades of deep purple.
The Product
In the questionnaire screens I used: Decisional balance sheet technique:
- define and write the conflict/situation
- write 2 possible choices
3. list the advantages and disadvantages (benefits and costs, pros and cons) of each choice
4. rate each advantage and disadvantage According to its importance.
5. The chosen alternative will be the one with the highest probability-weighted utility.
