The old recommendation

A recommendation is saved as though it will always be current.

A recommendation is saved as though it will always be current.

A saved item is easier to use when its reason travels with it. Dates, sources, and short explanations can do more than an elaborate filing system. Start with the items you actually expect to revisit and leave uncertainty visible.

Record when it was received and check it before acting on it.

You can stop after one small attempt. The purpose is to make a particular choice clearer, not to create a new obligation.
