Episode notes
Analysis Paralysis Is A False Safety
- Leaders often overthink binary choices and get stuck in analysis paralysis.
- Thinking through second- and third-order consequences is necessary but should not prevent action.
Classify Decisions By Permanence
- Assess how permanent a decision is before overcommitting time and energy.
- Treat reversible choices as experiments you can pivot from if results are poor.
Get Decisions Out Of Your Head
- Write decision options down and externalize your thinking to reduce noise.
- Use a structured template to convert scattered thoughts into controllable variables.
