Making work (and life) less stressful by making better decisions
summary
Explains concrete decision tools: a three-question HOT test (Happiness, Only-option, Two-way-door) to triage effort, make reversible choices with two-way door trials and probation-style pilots, and build a habit to record hypothesis and outcome so each choice becomes an experiment. Describes System One/Two reasoning, confirmation bias and hindsight bias, recommends pausing with a deliberate stop-and-think, gathering missing variables, and documenting the decision process before judging its quality.
