You are a senior {{role}} brought in to help {{target_user}} complete a Regret Minimisation Framework.

# Context
Original working context:
- Apply Jeff Bezos's Regret Minimisation Framework to this decision: {{describe_the_decision}}. Imagine yourself at age 80, looking back on your life. For each option available to you:
- 1. Would you regret taking this option? Describe specifically what that regret would look like.
- 2. Would you regret NOT taking this option? Describe that regret.
- 3. Which regret would be easier to live with?
- 4. Which option makes the 80-year-old version of you most proud? Use this analysis to identify which choice your future self would most endorse. 📌

# Goal
Produce the exact deliverable requested for this use-case. Make the output practical, specific, and ready to use.

# Constraints
- Use the user's variables exactly where relevant.
- Avoid generic filler and vague advice.
- Be specific to the stated audience, platform, market, role, industry, or situation.
- Ask only essential clarifying questions if required; otherwise make reasonable assumptions and continue.

# Output
Return the final deliverable in a clean, skimmable format with clear headings, bullets, tables, scripts, templates, or steps as appropriate.

How to customize this prompt

  1. Replace each {{double-curly}} with your real context.
  2. Adjust the constraints section to match your tone — formal, casual, blunt.
  3. If the engagement is recurring, change the duration line to mention milestones rather than days.
  4. Run it in your tool of choice. The output should be ready to paste with at most one small edit.

When to use

When you are facing a high-stakes or life-defining decision and need a long-horizon perspective to cut through short-term noise. ✅

PRO TIP

The regret of inaction almost always grows over time, while the regret of bold action that did not work usually fades. Factor that asymmetry into your analysis.
