You don’t need a perfect answer to begin.
“I keep changing my mind.”
Put the options side by side and consider what matters to you.
Choosing between two options →“I’m putting it off.”
Find a first move small enough to start with.
When a decision keeps looping →“It all feels too big.”
Look at the deadline, the risk and what’s yours to control.

Built for one stuck brain: mine.
Unstick started as something I built for myself, for the nights when a decision felt too big to hold and my head wouldn’t stop circling.
It’s free, with no account to create. What you write stays in the page you have open. Unstick doesn’t save your decisions or send your words anywhere.
Exactly what is and isn’t collected →A few useful answers
Before you begin.
Is it free?
Yes. Every step is free, with no sign-up or subscription. There’s an optional tip jar if you’d like to support the project.
What happens to what I write?
Your answers stay in this page’s memory. They aren’t sent or saved by Unstick. Reloading the page clears them. You can choose to copy your plan into your own notes. Anonymous visit and event counts are separate from your answers; see our privacy page.
What if I’m not ready to decide?
You can choose to find out one missing thing, ask someone for their perspective or pick a time to return to the decision. You don’t have to force an answer.
Is the whole process scientifically proven?
No. Research supports some of the techniques used here, but Unstick’s complete sequence hasn’t been clinically validated. It’s a thinking tool, not therapy or a diagnostic tool. Read about the evidence and its limits.
