01. The Limitation of Loose Lists
Traditional 'To-Do' lists fail because they are unstructured. 'Watch Inception' is just text. A Movie Idea in Decision Jar is a data object—it knows the runtime, the director, and where you can stream it. This context is what turns a list into a useful tool.
02. Reducing Decision Latency
When you spin the jar and it says 'Cook Carbonara', the next question is always 'Do I have the ingredients?' With structured Recipes, the ingredient list is right there. By front-loading this information, you reduce the 'Decision Latency' between picking an idea and starting it.
Common Questions
What are structured ideas?
Structured ideas are specialized formats for common activities like movies, books, and recipes. They allow you to store specific data like authors, runtimes, or ingredients.
Why not just use regular text?
Structured ideas unlock 'Quick Actions' like 'Watch Trailer' or 'Cook Mode' and allow for smarter filtering by playtime, cost, or difficulty.
