A Better Pros and Cons List

Download the BeMe app!

There’s a better way to do a pros and cons list.

Grab a piece of paper. Pick a behavior that you want to change.

Let’s say you decide you want to quit scrolling TikTok before bed.

First, write out the pros of not scrolling TikTok before bed.

Next, write out the cons of not scrolling TikTok before bed.

And now it gets interesting. Flip it and reverse it.

Write out the pros of continuing to scroll TikTok before bed.

And then write out the cons of continuing to scroll TikTok before bed.

Now you have a much more balanced picture of whether or not to change your behavior.

Consider adding a picture of your lists to your journal.
