I seem to make a lot of decisions. Decisions as a business owner, business partner, husband and father.
I’d like to make good decisions. By that I mean decisions that have more upside than downside. Decisions where the probability of expected value is higher than the probability of expected loss.

How would I know if the decision really was the right one? And how could I make better decisions in the future?
In January I stumbled across the concept of a decision journal on Shane Parrish’s blog, Farnam Street. It’s a simple idea that’s levelled up my decision making.
