Episode notes
Make Trade-Offs Intentionally
- You cannot have everything; life requires structural trade-offs that force choices.
- Decide consciously which costs you accept and which values you prioritize to escape decision purgatory.
Match Trade Size To Ambition
- Different life choices come with predictable sacrifices like marriage, kids, or when you work hard.
- Match the scale of your desired outcome with the scale of the trade you're willing to pay.
Judge Trades By Your Context
- Evaluate purchases and choices by asking if the trade is worth the value to you, not by judging others.
- Contextualize costs by your situation before copying or criticizing someone else's trade.
