A sorter for the changes you keep putting off
Which DoorMost changes swing back. Save the slow thinking for the trapdoors.
List the small changes you keep dithering over and answer five quick questions about each. Every change is hung on one of four doors: revolving - decide today; swing - decide, then check back; stable - try the small version first; trapdoor - slow down.
1 Your changes free
Up to eight changes. Import (or drop onto the list) a .txt file with one change a line, or a List .csv saved from this page to get its answers back too.
2 The showroom free
A red dot on a tag: waiting closes a chance. A dashed blue edge: the door read moved it.
| # | Change | Door | Why |
|---|
3 The door read metered
One run reads your changes and answers. For each change it names the way back, a smaller try-out where one fits, what waiting costs and one next step - and if an answer plainly doesn't fit the change, it moves the tag and says why.

How the page sorts
The idea: match how hard you think to how hard the change is to undo. Most changes can be walked back, and deciding those quickly frees attention for the few that can't.
The doors are decided in this order. Hard to undo - undoing takes months, can't be done, or costs a lot: the stable door if a smaller try-out exists, the trapdoor if it doesn't (or you're not sure). Otherwise, undoing takes a few weeks, costs some money, effort or awkwardness, or touches someone else: the swing door. Otherwise: the revolving door. A red dot marks a change where waiting closes a chance - for those, a small staged step beats putting it off.
The door read keeps to the page's door unless the change itself plainly contradicts an answer (a tattoo you said could be undone in days), and then it says why. The page lists anything in the read that does not match.
