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.
