I'm about to make a decision. Help me record it in my decision journal so future-me can learn from it.
THE DECISION: {what_youre_choosing}
DEADLINE: {when}
OPTIONS I'M WEIGHING: {options}
GUIDE ME THROUGH FILLING THIS OUT:
1. **Decision in one sentence**
2. **What I'm optimizing for** (not 'success' — be specific)
3. **What I'm willing to give up**
4. **The 3 most likely outcomes**, with my probability for each
5. **What I'm WORRIED about** but won't admit aloud
6. **My emotional state right now** (FOMO? exhaustion? excitement?) — naming it reduces its grip
7. **My choice + reasoning** (60 words max)
8. **When I'll revisit this** to score the outcome (90 days? 1 year?)
After I fill it out, give me ONE pointed observation about my reasoning — something I'd want to hear from a wise friend.0 copies·0 saves·3 views
