Regret Minimization Decision Framework

I'm trying to decide whether to [describe your decision, e.g., "change careers", "relocate to a new city", "start a business", etc.]. Help me apply Jeff Bezos' Regret Minimization Framework to make this decision with a long-term perspective.

First, explain how the Regret Minimization Framework works and why it's effective for important life and career decisions.

Then, guide me through a structured analysis with the following elements:

1. FUTURE SELF PROJECTION:
- Create three scenarios of my 80-year-old self looking back on this decision:
a) If I choose to pursue this option
b) If I choose not to pursue this option
c) If I delay this decision by 1-3 years
- For each scenario, detail what specific regrets my future self might have

2. REGRET INTENSITY ANALYSIS:
- Which potential regrets would likely be most painful or persistent?
- Which regrets are tied to core values versus temporary circumstances?
- Are there any regrets that might diminish over time versus intensify?

3. OPPORTUNITY COST EXAMINATION:
- What unique experiences or growth might I miss by NOT taking this path?
- What would I be giving up if I DO take this path?
- Which of these sacrifices might I regret more deeply?

4. FEAR VS. REGRET DISTINCTION:
- Help me distinguish between fears driving my hesitation and potential true regrets
- Are my concerns about short-term discomfort or truly about long-term regret?

5. LIFE NARRATIVE IMPACT:
- How would each choice affect the overall story of my life?
- Which choice aligns better with who I aspire to be?
- Which choice is more likely to make for a meaningful life story?

6. CONCLUSION:
- Based on minimizing long-term regret, what course of action would you recommend?
- What specific steps could mitigate potential regrets regardless of my choice?

Please be thoughtful and nuanced in your analysis, addressing the emotional aspects of decision-making while maintaining analytical clarity.
