- No plan survives reality
Every plan is destined to fail once put into action because it’s impossible to plan for every variable and unexpected event.

Rethinking the basics by questioning common assumptions and sharing perspectives that have shifted my own thinking.
7 min - Can't pick your passion
If you simply just don’t want something you cannot force yourself to “just want it”, that doesn’t make sense. The people that are obsessed with something have a natural urge or very strong and deep reasoning behind it that cannot be just thought to yourself.

8 min - The futility of fixing flaws (and forgetting your own strengths)
We always quickly tend to look at what is going wrong or what we did wrong to try and fix our flaws and avoid making the same “mistakes” or trying to improve but I think that fixing our flaws will never takes us as far as doubling down on our natural given strengths.

7 min - It's never as bad as it is in your head
In my experience, the only things that’s keeping me from doing or achieving the things I want to pursue is some kind of fear and being scared for some worst case scenario. But really thinking deep about that worst case scenario: it’s never really that bad.

8 min - Honor in a humble restart
Sometimes we just find ourselves in a position where we’re much further back than where we once were. That’s hard to accept because we know we can do better, and we’ve done better, but things just go the way they go and sometimes we just need to start over at the beginning.

8 min - Clutching calendars in an age of entropy
In an entropic world, structures and calendar-keeping reduce any chance of discovering something new. Great opportunities arise in entropy, not in structures and disciplines.

6 min - The long haul of the first inch
The stretch of doing everything, seeing nothing and wondering what is the problem. Everything always takes much more time and effort than we think which makes us quit way before we even did the bare minimum amount of work.

About: Sharing thoughts I’d normally keep to myself. To stay accountable, figure out what matters, and maybe help someone who’s in the same place. Not pretending to have answers. Just trying to find them. Host: Tobias Philipp

About Mental Models
From the publisher's feed
We go through life without ever questioning what we believe, even though many of those beliefs could easily be wrong.
Our worldviews, perspectives, and beliefs can change just by listening to others.
Because people take the time to share their thoughts, opinions, and knowledge, we get the chance to do so.
That’s why I’m here doing the same, looking at life differently, challenging common beliefs, and learning to think in new ways.
I also want to encourage others to do the same, because the more we share and listen, the more we can learn and improve.
