Why I Created Mullover: The Free Decision Maker for Jobs, Cars, Phones, Holidays and More

I've always found making decisions harder than it seems to be for other people.

Not the small decisions. I'm talking about the bigger ones. The decisions that have consequences. The ones where you know you'll have to live with the outcome for months, years, or even decades.

Should I change jobs?

Should I move house?

Should I upgrade my phone?

Should I replace my car?

Which university should I choose?

Where should I go on holiday?

Most people face these decisions at some point, and for years I handled them in exactly the same way: overthinking them.

I'd spend days researching. I'd open countless browser tabs. I'd ask friends and family for advice. I'd compare specifications, salaries, locations, fuel economy, reviews, rankings and every other factor I could think of.

Yet somehow I often felt no closer to a decision.

The strange thing is that I wasn't lacking information. In fact, I usually had too much information. The real challenge was figuring out how much each factor actually mattered to me.

That's what eventually led me to create Mullover.

The Problem With Traditional Pros and Cons Lists

Whenever people talk about decision-making, one piece of advice always comes up.

"Make a pros and cons list."

It's simple advice, and sometimes it works. But I found it had several problems.

Firstly, creating a pros and cons list often felt like a chore. I would spend time writing everything down only to end up staring at a page that didn't actually help me decide.

Secondly, not all pros and cons are equal.

Let's say you're making a moving house decision. One benefit might be having a bigger garden. Another might be reducing your commute by an hour every day.

A traditional pros and cons list treats those as two equal points, even though one might matter ten times more to you than the other.

The same applies when deciding whether to change jobs, upgrade your phone, choose a university or replace your car. Some factors are hugely important. Others are simply nice to have.

A basic pros and cons list doesn't reflect that.

Most importantly, I never felt any confidence from the process. Even after making a list, I'd still find myself wondering whether I was making the right choice.

Other Decision-Making Methods Didn't Feel Right Either

Over the years I tried all sorts of decision-making techniques.

• Following my gut instinct
• Asking friends and family
• Flipping a coin
• Building spreadsheets
• Using decision matrices
• Scoring options manually

Many of these methods have merit, but I found they usually fell into one of two categories.

They were either too simplistic or too complicated.

The simple methods didn't provide enough structure.

The complex methods felt like work.

When you're already stressed about a difficult decision, the last thing you want is to spend hours building a spreadsheet with formulas and calculations.

I wanted something that was powerful enough to help with meaningful decisions but simple enough that anyone could use it in minutes.

That idea became Mullover.

Building a Decision Maker That People Actually Enjoy Using

When I started creating Mullover, I wasn't trying to build another generic decision-making tool.

I wanted to build something that felt intuitive.

Instead of simply listing pros and cons, Mullover allows users to compare options while also deciding how important each factor is to them.

Because that's the reality of decision-making.

A person comparing job offers may care far more about salary than remote working.

Someone upgrading their phone might prioritise battery life over camera quality.

A family moving house may care more about location than the size of the kitchen.

The factors aren't the same for everyone, and the weight of those factors shouldn't be the same either.

By allowing users to score options and adjust the importance of each criterion, Mullover becomes a more personalised decision maker rather than a one-size-fits-all solution.

The goal isn't to tell people what to choose.

The goal is to help people understand what matters most to them.

One thing I've learned since launching Mullover is that people use decision-making tools for far more situations than I originally imagined.

Every week I think of new decisions that could benefit from a dedicated online decision maker.

• Relationships

Why Mullover Will Always Be Free

I built Mullover because I genuinely wanted a better way to make decisions.

I also know that many of life's biggest decisions arrive at moments when people are already under pressure.

That's why Mullover is completely free.

Just a collection of decision-making tools designed to help people compare options, reduce decision paralysis and move forward with greater confidence.

And if you do use it, I'd genuinely appreciate your feedback.

Mullover started as a solution to a problem I personally struggled with. My hope is that it can help other people spend less time overthinking and more time moving forward with the decisions that matter most.
