In a journal, important decisions drown in daily entries. In a habit tracker, you tick off days, but you never write down why you started, or why you stopped. Decision Log captures what gets lost in both: context, motivation, and the history of changes behind every decision. A habit, an experiment, a tool switch, a resolution: all in one place, with an awareness that grows over time.
You change your diet, buy a flat, leave a project. In that moment you have reasons, data, thoughts. A few months later, you remember what happened, but not why. And without the "why," you don't know if the decision worked or what the experience taught you. Decision Log turns that vague "I think back then…" into a concrete record: what the decision was, the context around it, the options you had, and what happened next. Not for the sake of archiving, but so that months later you can see your patterns, learn from experience, and face the next decision with your own history at hand, not faded guesswork.
Decisions change, and that's fine. Mark replacements and relationships between entries to see how one decision grew from another.

Concrete situations where Decision Log changes the way you think about your choices.
"Switching my training: from running to crossfit."
Five months ago the decision was simple: start running to lose 4 kg. It worked. Now the goal has changed: time to focus on strength and endurance. The new decision replaces the old one. Linked entries show the path of transformation: where the decision to run came from, where the change came from, and what's next.
"Moving my notes from Notion to Obsidian."
A year later, another tool tempts you. You open the old entry and immediately see what your requirements were back then, who recommended it and why you picked it, and how that compares to what you need now. You don't start the analysis from scratch every time.
"Moving savings from a fixed deposit to ETFs."
Six months ago, your fixed deposit was paying 7% and that was enough. Now rates have dropped, so it's time for a strategy change. You open the old entry. You see what convinced you then, what the concerns and the plan were. So the new decision stands on solid ground, not a shot in the dark.
"Flying to Mallorca, without a travel agency?"
You come back from a trip knowing exactly: what was great, what you'd do differently next time, what budget worked, or that going on your own saved you a lot and let you see more. But six months later, planning the next trip, all that's left is a vague "it was nice." When you record what worked, what didn't, and why, the next trip can be better planned and more on point.
"A quiet weekend getaway, once a quarter."
Regular weekend trips instead of one long holiday a year? By recording this, you see what actually recharges your batteries and what you need.
"Switching phones from iPhone to Samsung."
Every time, the same carousel: comparing specs, reading reviews, asking friends. Two years later, back to square one. When you have a record of what mattered last time, what worked and why, your next choice starts from your own experience, not someone else's reviews.
"Looking for a new cream, third time this year."
You try, test, switch. After a few months you can't remember what was wrong with the last one or why you're still looking. When every try is recorded with a reason and an assessment, you see the pattern instead of going in circles.
"Going for a two-year-old used car instead of a new one from the dealer."
Big expense, lots of variables. You record what mattered: budget, mileage, service costs, what to watch out for. A few years later, when it's time to switch again, you have your own purchase history with context, not just a vague sense that "it was probably fine."
"Planning a house build over 18 months."
Every choice seems obvious at the time. Six months later, you can't remember why you chose that particular option. When each one is recorded with context, the answer is always at hand.
"Should we drop the free plan?"
You record the context: conversion data, user feedback, options considered. Three months later, you add the results. Next time you face a similar dilemma, you reach for facts, not hunches.
"REST or GraphQL for the new service?"
A new person on the team asks "Why GraphQL?" The answer is already written down, along with the alternatives and why they were dropped. No need to track down people who left months ago.
"Fixed price or hourly rate for clients?"
After a dozen projects, you start seeing when each approach works. You stop guessing, because your own experience, recorded and accessible, shows you the pattern.
Honest answer: it's not for everyone.
