A small practice for the isolated decision

A practical exercise: Write the condition that made the choice reasonable at the time.

Original practice · Optional exercise · Memory needs context

Choose a low-stakes example you can change without affecting another person’s private information or commitments.

  1. Describe the current situation in one sentence. The example here is: A decision survives but the reason is lost.
  2. Write the condition that made the choice reasonable at the time.
  3. Compare the result with the difficulty you named. Write one concrete observation.
  4. Keep, adapt, or stop the experiment. A note about why you stopped is a valid result.

What would you keep if this were an experiment rather than a permanent rule?
