Decision-making heuristic: Hell yes or no

In this podcast episode, the host discusses a decision-making heuristic that he learned from an interview with Derek Sivers. Sivers suggests that when making decisions, there are only two answers: 'Hell yes' and 'no'. The idea is to only say yes to things that you are fully enthusiastic about and completely committed to. By considering the shortness of life and the opportunity costs of saying yes, this heuristic helps prioritize and focus on the things that truly matter. It encourages saying no to mediocre opportunities and frees up time and mental space to pursue the things that bring genuine excitement and satisfaction.
