Write down what you decided, why, and what you expect to happen. Come back on the review date and record what actually happened. Without that record there is no way to know how good your own judgment is, because memory quietly edits the decisions that went wrong.
The two failure modes this log catches.
A reversible decision made slowly is the expensive mistake. You paid in weeks of attention for something you could have undone in an afternoon. The outcome was probably fine. The delay was the loss.
An irreversible decision made quickly is the dangerous one. You cannot buy the time back afterwards. Speed is only cheap when the door opens both ways.
