1431 || some good "rules of thumb"
Feynman Razor: If you can't explain it to a 5 year old, you don't really understand it.
The Luck Razor: Much of what we call "luck" is the macro result of thousands of micro actions.
The Arena Razor: When faced with two paths, choose the path that puts you in the arena. Once you're in the arena, never take advice from people on the sidelines.
The Optimist Razor: When choosing who to spend time with, prioritize spending more time with optimists.
Taleb's "look the part" test: If forced to choose between two options of seemingly equal merit, choose the one that doesn’t look the part.
The Gratitude Razor: The more you show gratitude, the more you see things to be grateful to.
Invested vs. Spent test: Time is either invested or spent.
The Rooms Razor: Choose the room where you aren't the smartest in it.
The New Project Razor: Are you excited? Would you still do it if it was twice as long and half as successful?
Uphill Decision Razor: Easy now, hard later OR hard now, easy later.
Listen Mode: Listen more than you speak to people you disagree with.
Lion Razor: Sprint + Rest, rather than expecting consistent work mode 8 hours a day.
Young + Old Test: Make choices your 80 year old + 10 year old self would be proud of.
Duck Test: If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it’s probably a duck. Just make sure you're judging true habitual characteristics + not context based outliers.
