Record the bet, not just the result. A good decision can end badly. A bad decision can get lucky. If you judge only by the outcome, you risk learning the wrong lesson—and repeating a mistake because it happened to work once. Before your next meaningful choice, make a tiny decision record: what you’re choosing, what you expect to happen, why you expect it, and what would change your mind. Add a review date. Five sentences are enough; this is a snapshot of your reasoning, not a courtroom defense. Make the prediction observable. Instead of “This purchase will help,” write “I expect this second monitor to reduce window-switching enough to finish weekly reports 20 minutes faster.” Now you have something to check, not just a feeling to protect. At review time, separate what you knew, what you assumed, and what surprised you. Look for a lesson you can reuse—not a reason to praise or punish yourself. Which upcoming decision would benefit from a written prediction? #EDITHDaily
