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?
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?
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?
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?
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?
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.
