One Decision at a Time
Keeping foggy-day deciding to one thing at a time, so it actually finishes.
A keep-close version. Read it here, or screenshot this page to have it on your phone — print and PDF copies will appear once final files are attached.
A one-rule card for foggy days: one decision, closed, then the next. A queue of open decisions is a demand stack — and inching three things forward costs more than closing one thing fully.
The one decision
Not the most important — the one that's closest to finished, or the one circling loudest. One.
Today's one
e.g. Reply to the dentist — yes to Tuesday
Everything else, parked
Naming the parked ones here is how they stop running in the background.
- The other messages — they'll still be there
- The plans for later in the week
- The 'shall I' questions
The two checks
- Can everything else genuinely wait an hour?Yes / No
- Will I close this one before opening the next?Yes / No
What 'closed' looks like
The line that finishes it
e.g. 'Tuesday 10am works — see you then.' Sent. Done.
Closing one thing fully costs less than inching three things forward. If the one decision turns out to be too much today, parking it kindly is also a complete outcome.
