Decision-Making With Limited Capacity

Interactive Tool

Decide Now / Later / Not Me

Every incoming decision has four honest destinations. This is the card version — a way to file the day's decisions quickly, so nothing keeps running in the background as an open loop.

What this is for: Giving every decision a destination, so the queue stops being a demand of its own.

1

What's on my mind right now

Two or three is plenty — the ones actually circling.

2

The one that's costing the most

You can leave this blank.

3

Its destination

4

The sentence that files it

Said to yourself, or to whoever's waiting — one line closes the loop.

You can leave this blank.

What you've put together

Your choices stay on this page — nothing is saved or sent.

The queue, filed — each decision somewhere, none of it floating.

Nothing chosen yet — that's fine. Use only what helps today.

'I've decided not to decide about this yet' is a complete sentence and a real decision. Tomorrow is a real answer.
