Why this helps
You make decisions and move fast, but rarely document *why*. Months later you can't remember the reasoning, leading to repeated mistakes or second-guessing.
- Builds better decision-making over time
- Easier to spot patterns in your choices
- Great for reflective founders seeking growth
- Requires zero extra friction beyond typing
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Set up Telegram and Google Sheets integrations with Notis.
- 2Create an automation: 'When I send a DECISION message in Telegram, add it to my decision journal with the date, options considered, final choice, and expected outcome.'
- 3Use 'Telegram - New Message' and point to your personal DM or a private decision channel.
- 4Send a test decision entry (e.g., 'DECISION: Chose to delay feature launch by 2 weeks due to team capacity and market timing concerns') and verify it's logged.
Questions about this workflow
Should I format decisions a certain way?
Not required, but you can develop a simple format (e.g., DATE | DECISION | REASONING | EXPECTED OUTCOME) that Notis learns to parse and organize.
Can I add a confidence score or stakeholder input?
Absolutely. Your message can include any details you want captured—confidence level, who was consulted, assumptions made, etc.
How do I review this journal effectively?
Google Sheets makes it easy to sort by date, filter by category, or search for keywords. Use formulas to spot decision patterns or analyze outcomes over time.
