Should you decide this now, or think longer?

You have been going round the same decision for two weeks. Most people agonise over things they could undo in a week and rush the ones they live with for years — four questions tell you which kind yours is.

Questions

About this check.

How much time should a decision get?

It depends on how hard it is to undo, not how important it feels. A decision you can reverse in days should be made today, because another week of meetings costs more than being wrong. A decision customers have seen, like pricing, or one that other work gets built on top of, deserves all the time you have.

What is a reversible decision?

One you could undo quickly and quietly, where almost nobody outside the team would notice and nothing else gets built on top of it. The useful test is whether you can say how you would undo it in a single sentence. If you cannot, it’s not reversible — you are hoping it is, and that’s how reversible decisions quietly become permanent ones.

How do you stop a team going round the same decision?

Write down what was decided, why, what was rejected and what would change it, on the day it’s made. Most repeated arguments are not disagreement — they’re people genuinely remembering it differently, and without a record the loudest or most recent version wins each time.

Is it free, and where do my answers go?

Free, with no account and no email. Everything runs in your browser, nothing is sent to a server, nothing is stored, and I never see what you clicked.
