Today's theme is:ย 35,000 Decisions Journals
After looking at some frameworks for decision making yesterday, let's see how we can track and tweak them over time : ๐๐ป
Approach 1 -
You make 35,000 decisions a day. What's the easiest way to become a better decision maker? According to Daniel Kahneman - maintain a ๐๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ถ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป ๐๐ผ๐๐ฟ๐ป๐ฎ๐น. Here's how to do that in 7 steps ๐งต ๐When you're making a consequential decision, open a fresh page of your decision journal. 1๏ธโฃ ๐ช๐ฟ๐ถ๐๐ฒ ๐ฑ๐ผ๐๐ป ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฑ๐ฎ๐๐ฒ 2๏ธโฃ ๐ช๐ฟ๐ถ๐๐ฒ ๐ฑ๐ผ๐๐ป ๐ฎ ๐ณ๐๐๐๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐ฑ๐ฎ๐๐ฒ ๐๐ผ ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐๐ถ๐ฒ๐ ๐๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ถ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป3๏ธโฃ ๐ช๐ฟ๐ถ๐๐ฒ ๐ฑ๐ผ๐๐ป ๐๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ถ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป.

Approach 2 -
Building a habit is hard AF. But it can be transformational if done right. Here's a case for a new, unexpected habit that you should start building today. It's called Decision Journaling Read on ๐งต35,000. Every day, you make 35,000 decisions. Little decisions like what to wear. Big decisions like what job to take. And every decision has an outcome that changes the trajectory of your life in some way.Then why don't give our decisions the attention they deserve? Why do we treat them like bets that we set and forget? Decisions must be treated like products: - Actively - Critically - IterativelyThink about it this way. Let's say you're a couch manufacturer. Quality control is going to be an essential part of your business. From pre-production inspection to pre-shipment packaging, you'll review to make sure your couches are perfect.(โฆ.)
Approach 3 by Shane Parrish from Farnam Street fame :
All 3 People are heavyweights Productivity wise.
Let's remember that we don't need to do it at the same level from Day 1. Doing a basic 20% version is a great start too!
Cheers and see you soon ๐ซ
