- Decision Journaling: Learning to Decide Better Over Time
A decision journal is a written record of significant decisions — what you decided, why, what you expected to happen, and what actually happened. It counteracts hindsight bias and outcome bias by preserving your actual reasoning before the outcome arrives, and it creates the only feedback loop that produces real calibration: comparing your predictions to results across many decisions over time. - Run a weekly decision review session
Set aside 20 minutes each week to score past decisions and extract one lesson.
