Razors to Live By
A “razor” is a rule of thumb that simplifies decision making.
- The Feynman Razor: If someone uses complicated jargon to explain something, they probably don’t understand it. 
- The Uphill Decision: When faced with two options, choose the one that’s more challenging in the short term. 
- Occam's Razor: The simplest explanation is often the best one. 
- The Invest vs. Spend Test: Prioritize investing time with meaningful activities rather than just spending time.
