Honestly, the free part felt like the easy decision. I built this because I needed it myself, and I have no idea yet where it works and where it doesn't. You're using it and telling me what falls flat is worth more to me than a purchase would've been.
Hope it's useful for whatever you're stuck on this week.
Would love it if you could restack the tool/article, if you wish. Thanks again.
Thank you for this, Peter. It adds something the original framing was missing. I was thinking about decision debt mostly as a weight sitting there, but you're right that it's not passive; it re-asks the same question of you every time it resurfaces, and that repetition is probably where most of the exhaustion actually comes from, not the decision itself.
The point about closure over correctness especially lands. I think that's the real reason the "No Library" part of the tool exists, even though I couldn't have put it as clearly as you just did. A decent decision that's actually closed frees up more of you than a perfect one that's still open.
Really appreciate you taking the time to write this out.
Wow, I can’t believe you’re giving this tool away free - that’s most generous, thank you.
That means a lot, thank you.

I like the framing of decision debt.
I'd add that unmade decisions don't just consume attention because they're unfinished.
They continue competing for judgement every time they re-enter your awareness.
Until resolved, delegated or consciously deferred, they keep asking the brain the same question. Closure is so important for thinking.
Sometimes the greatest value of making a decision isn't choosing well, but in freeing judgement for the next one.
