What your last five decisions have in common
Compare five real decisions and develop a tentative rule for the next one.
Published: · Version 1
A prompt to try
I will describe five decisions from recent years. For each: situation, options, time spent deciding, decisive reason and how I see it now. My examples: [FIVE DECISIONS]. Compare them in a short table. Which recurring triggers or approaches are actually supported? What differed in decisions I now feel good about? Include a counterexample and acknowledge hindsight bias. Do not infer a cause or fixed personality from five cases. Suggest a tentative rule for the next similar decision and one situation where it would not fit. Label guesses and missing information.
Copy the text into your AI, fill in the placeholders and check the answer.
Why try this?
