I loved many of the ideas of this article, but need to hear more on how it relates with outcomes like you state. Should your decision journal track making reasonably good decisions, and seeing the outcomes tend to be more consistently positive? And when the outcomes are bad or disastrously bad, do you track how you fixed them? That may be the key, most decisions will never be perfect, but when you have a good decision that inevitably needs cleanup, is the cleanup or not worth the cleanup, the real success measure? My maxim is, "When you don't know what the right decision is, immediately stop the wrong decision.

Hope that makes sense. Am following, Mark
