“Chapter 2: As the Old Saying Goes, Hindsight Is Not 20/20 (page 38) Hindsight bias vaccine As you were using the Knowledge Tracker, it may have occurred to you that it would be a good idea to journal the "stuff you knew before the decision" while you are in the process of making the decision. It can be hard to accurately recall what you knew before the fact once you already know the outcome. Journaling gives you something concrete to refer back to. Writing down the key facts informing your decision also acts like a vaccine against hindsight bias. Thinking about what you know at the time of the decision in this more deliberative way creates a clearer time stamp, preventing memory creep before it happens. Later in this book we'll take a deep dive into how to better memorialize decisions.” — Annie Duke
