“Why am I the marginal buyer?” is a very useful lens on a lot of things that aren’t strictly speaking finance.
Two interesting examples:
Company believes it needs X done.
Why are you the marginal person whose efforts would cause X to be achieved?
Why is X sufficiently high in priority to be the marginal task you take on in a given interval of time?

Also useful from a lens of “How do I structure my life such that the overwhelming majority of significant bets I make are based on me having overwhelmingly unfair advantage on them?” (Insider trading on contents of your own head allowed and encouraged!)
(You don’t have to be overwhelming on both of those. A small advantage consistently or a large advantage on the right decisions likely suffices.)
