Musings from the creator of The MasterList. Tuesday, July 31, 2007. A plan is not a decision. A database is a place to lay out choices, but it is not a decision-making tool. You are the decision making tool. The MasterList. Is a free-wheeling decisioneering tool that adapts to the way you organize, think, and choose.
