A good decision can include a point at which you will check whether it is still working.

Deciding something does not have to mean deciding it forever. Most choices are made with the information available on one particular day, and treating them as permanent means you will either defend them past their usefulness or feel like a failure for changing your mind. A built-in review date converts that into ordinary maintenance. It also makes commitment easier, because you are agreeing to try something rather than to be right about it.

Attach a date to your next real decision, and write down what would count as it working. When the date comes, look honestly rather than automatically continuing.
