I'm very fascinated with a mental framework called first principles thinking which is famously used by Elon Musk and other great men throughout history.

Aristotle once defined first principles as “The first basis from which a thing is known.” Basically, it's about boiling things down to their most fundamental truths, to where it cannot be debated.

Back in November, I discovered a cool methodology to make it easier use first principles thinking, as it's very mentally taxing. It helps me cut right to the root truth, so I can think more clearly, and see things for what they truly are. It's applicable in any area of your life.

I highly recommend you research this way of thinking, it's awesome. Here's a 3m video with Elon Musk to watch after: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NV3sBlRgzTI
