How do you build the perfect outline? Simply put, you should record what decisions influenced your life events. The decision tree diagram below makes this a stress-free process. In the below example, the user selected the event "Sports" listed on the previous table under the "Leisure" Category. The following decisions influenced why the user played soccer: "father coached", "athletic ability", "neighborhood park", and "friends played."
The combination of recording life events, along with the decisions that influenced each event, builds the perfect outline to begin writing your autobiography.
