Make Better Decisions
summary
A concrete checklist appears: a five-step process for high‑value choices (define goal, list options, qualify, weigh factors, reflect), a set of eight tricks for decision hygiene, and an apprenticeship program that runs six apprentices through deliberate practice. Examples include an extreme programming stint that teaches more in six months than five years elsewhere, a daily dev journal with pre/post task notes, routine estimate vs actual comparisons, forced failure exercises, and regular feedback loops that surface real learning.
