Section 1 - Instruction

Last time you learned to track decision timing. But speed isn't everything - what if your fastest decisions leave you feeling terrible?

Today we'll measure satisfaction alongside speed to find your sweet spot between quick and good.

Engagement Message

Think of a recent fast decision: how did it feel a week later?

Section 2 - Instruction

Here's the key insight: satisfaction changes over time. A decision that feels great immediately might sour after a week when consequences emerge.

This is why we measure twice - at 1 day and 1 week post-decision.

Engagement Message

Can you name a decision and note how your feelings shifted over time?

Section 3 - Instruction

We'll use a simple 1-10 satisfaction scale. 10 means "completely happy with this choice" and 1 means "I deeply regret this decision."

No complex analysis needed - just your honest gut reaction to how the decision worked out.

Engagement Message

What would make you rate a decision as a 10?

Section 4 - Instruction

The timing matters crucially. Day 1 captures your immediate confidence and relief. Week 1 reveals how well the decision actually played out in reality.

Both scores tell you different things about your decision-making patterns.

Engagement Message

Which timeframe do you think reveals more about decision quality?

Section 5 - Instruction

Now you can spot patterns. Do your fastest decisions score lower at week 1? Do deadline-driven choices feel better immediately but worse later?

This data reveals your personal decision-making strengths and blind spots.

Engagement Message

What pattern would worry you most in your own data?

Section 6 - Instruction

Your satisfaction log needs just four fields: decision summary, day 1 score, week 1 score, and decision time from your previous log.

Keep it simple so you'll actually use it consistently.

Engagement Message

Which part of this logging process feels most challenging?
