Decisions should close loops, not create permanent internal meetings.

An unclosed decision keeps running in the background, resurfacing in idle moments and conversations, quietly billing you for attention. The point of deciding is to end that process, and a decision that does not actually end it has not done its job. You can tell by whether the topic still comes up.

Notice which questions you keep re-opening internally and ask what would let you close them for real: a written conclusion, a public commitment, a first action. Do that thing. The mental quiet is a large part of the payoff.
