Simplify decision making: the Pareto principle

Jul 10, 2021 9:11 pm

Hi,

do you ever think "today there have been too few decisions to make"?

πŸ˜…


The number and importance of daily choices overwhelm us. But we are probably responsible of this problem.


We waste too long on trivial issues. The significant ones are a tiny minority.


Identifying the vital decisions to tackle will save you time, energy and stress. How do you do it?


Our latest article should help. It explores how we can apply the Pareto principle to dramatically simplify our decision making. You can read it here.

You Don’t β€˜Run Out’ of Willpower

It seemed clear: every day we have a set willpower budget. Once exhausted, our decisions are not reliable until we rest.

New research is showing that it's more like a skill. The right mindset gives you extra energy you didn't think you had.


Precognition

Predicting the future is impossible. But with the right practice you can make your forecasts more precise.


Stop Being So Hard on Yourself

We are creators, we have to take responsibility for everything. But when we come short, we blame ourselves. This way we stifle progress.

We can rewrite our own narrative, be kinder, and focus on improvement.
