Is there a way to print this out?
It is a pdf, since it is rather big chart and as off yet I failed to make a readable image from it.
The decision points have bad names. How can "When it was exaclty?" or "how satisfying it was ?" have a "yes" "no" answer?
I thought it was asking "are you trying to determine 'When it was exactly?' and 'Are you trying to remember how satisfying it was?'" which made sense.

For those interested, I built small project https://dailycognitivebias.com which basically send you every day a random cognitive bias to your inbox.

That's creepy good. It somehow usually sends me biases that have affected me that same day.

That's not it. It's just garbled. "availability heuristic" means that recent or related-to-current-situation events are easier to remember than other, so they bias your mental estimate of "average" or "sum".
This is the logic behind the "climate of fear" the media creates—every time a tragedy is made into a huge news story, it becomes semi-permanently available as an exemplar to your brain of that kind of thing happening; and then, when you try to figure out when the last time that kind of thing happened was (which is, in turn, a heuristic people tend to use for how often something happens) the highly-available exemplar in your mind makes you still feel like it "just happened" even if it was years ago.
(Or, to put that another way: everyone in America who was alive when 9/11 happened, still thinks of terrorist attacks against the US as happening far more often than they do; everyone in America who was born after 9/11 has a better-calibrated estimate. The scope of the tragedy—and especially of the reporting of the tragedy—caused it to be "too available" to people, permanently biasing their time-scale and frequency estimates.)
