Here are some examples, though as I said, I think my own definition of a decision was too strict:
I went to that forecasting day that included Carl Shulman, Kajta, etc.
I didn’t do [multi week research project with some people].
I rejoined CFAR’s colloquium.
I decided to go to the mainline workshop in late February.
I bought a macbook air with a 512 GB hard drive and 18 GB of RAM. I returned it for a macbook pro with a 512 GB hard drive and 18 GB of RAM. This was $100 more expensive, but with a faster processor. For that reason I’m typing this on my old (often crashing) machine.
I opted not to attend the Bay NVC convergence facilitation training.
I returned my macbook pro to get a macbook air again, because of the better battery life.
I got on to Prague time the long way, by staying up late, sleeping all day, and then taking an evening plane, having a long travel day, then crashing, when I got to Europe.
I decided to come back from Europe early so that I could meet with Brienne and Duncan about instructor training, instead of hanging with FHI.
I didn’t join the conversation about [topic] between [people].
I downloaded [that sketchy file].
I told [employer] that I could do about 10 to 12 hours of [category] work in October.
I bought access to AWC’s demonstrations of Focusing.
I stayed two extra days in Prague and then had a flight that left at 9:00 AM from Prague to Copenhagen, and then a connecting flight from Copenhagen to Oakland. Getting up really early to go to the airport didn’t suit me much since I had been waking up around 10:00. So I bought an $85 ticket to Copenhagen a day early, and stayed in the cheapest Hostel I could find.
I think at least one trigger for flagging decisions might be something like “I’m about to ‘pull the trigger’ on something.” I have some amount of indecision, or conflictedness, and then I settle into one state or another.

For some reason seeing all this concreteness made me more excited/likely to try this technique.
Cool!
