Meet Rolf Dobelli.

For the last 15 years, he has been a world-renowned expert in decision-making.

I've read 100 hours of content by him to improve my judgment.

7 razors to think more clearly (and become a better entrepreneur): Image
1. Action Bias

When you're always doing something, you neglect thinking.

Ask yourself:

β€’ Is it worth it?
β€’ Is this the best way to do it?
β€’ Am I trying to control things outside my control?

This aligns my long-term goals with my short-term goals.
2. Fundamental Attribution Error

People underestimate external factors.

You sometimes fail to recognize that results are still out of your control, no matter how hard you work. As people think, "I've given my best, but it didn't work out."

This leads to quitting.

One of the best books on decision-making:

The Essentialist by Greg McKeown.

After reading it, I stopped being busy and started being impactful.

7 principles from him to make smart decisions in your life: Image
1. The essentialist

Essentialism is not about how to get more things done.

It's about doing things less but better. It's a method of choosing between good things and a few really great things.

It's a way to think, eliminate, and execute your priorities.
2. Rule of 90%

The way you choose your options is under your control.

One way to do so is to adopt the 90% rule. Start by prioritizing important tasks. Then give each task a score b/w 0-100. Any task less than 90 (even 89) is a 0.

If it isn't a clear yes, then it's a clear no.
