This is a GREAT application for Jott http://www.jott.com. I use it to document my thoughts and decisions without having to type them into a log.

I keep two little lists in my wallet. One is a list of authors I want or like to read for when I go to the library. The other is a list of inexpensive wines I want to try or that I have found I like.

I use Netflix, Shelfari, Amazon.com, and Ma.gnolia.com to document my decisions.

I use the task reminder in my SE K750i to schedule calls which give me a reminder 5 minutes before the set time. The name and number pops up ask if I wish to dial now!

I keep a personal wiki on a pen drive using GTDTiddlyWiki.

It’s been very effective for me, since I’m compelled to write my thoughts anyway. Now I can keep them in something more cohesive and organized than a stack of notebooks.

Beyond that I bookmark everything of use to me in del.icio.us. This has helped me have just the right information available when I need it.

What you describe is “time shifting” a decision from one point in time to another. Sort of like Tivo or podcasting.

Try noting on each list your criteria for including the item near the top, e.g., Jack’s favorite movies. It’s the imformation about the decision that may wind up being more important,
