Definitionv1DF-352
Pre-commitment
a decision framework that involves deciding in advance what you will do in a specific situation to remove in-the-moment temptation and structural constraint, where the future self's decision-making capacity is compromised by different neurochemistry, time horizons, and emotional pressures
Why This Is a Definition
This definition clearly names the term, states its genus (decision framework), and provides the differentia that distinguishes it from other decision-making approaches - specifically the advance decision-making to remove temptation and the recognition of future self's compromised capacity due to neurochemical and temporal differences.
