Why choosing the path you can easily walk back from is almost always the safest first step.

You can't think your way out of a problem you behaved your way into. Why small actions are better than big thoughts.

They are not the same thing. Understanding the difference is key to making safer choices.

When faced with a complex decision, sometimes the most powerful choice is to consciously do nothing... for now.

"What if I fail?" "What if I regret it?" These questions can be paralyzing. Here’s how to manage them.

Not all decisions are created equal. Distinguishing between reversible and irreversible choices can change everything.

Searching for the "best" option is a recipe for anxiety. Why "good enough" is often the safest and smartest path.

We are bad at predicting what will make us happy. This is why reversible decisions are so important.

There's a fine line between productive research and analysis paralysis. Here’s how to tell the difference.

Big choices feel overwhelming. The key is to break them down into a series of small, safe, non-scary steps.

While you wait for the perfect moment, you're paying a price. Recognizing these costs can spur you to safe action.

The more choices you make, the worse your decision-making gets. Simplifying your choices is a superpower.

Intuition is a powerful tool, but it's not magic. It's pattern recognition. Here's how to use it safely.

Why the time and money you've already spent shouldn't influence your next decision.

Seeking input from others is smart. Letting them decide for you is risky.

A powerful technique to identify risks is to imagine your decision has already failed, and then work backward to figure out why.

Don't judge the quality of your choice by the result. Focus on your process.
