Today, we explore why effort isn’t the thing failing you… your decisions are. Barry Schwartz called it the Paradox of Choice. The more options we keep alive, the harder it becomes to choose well. But the real issue isn’t just choice overload. It’s that most of our decisions are built to be reconsidered. If a decision depends on you waking up tomorrow and still agreeing with yourself, it’s not a decision. It’s a daily vote. So what would it look like to make a decision that survives doubt, fear, bad days, and mood shifts? We break down a 4-step RULE system: 1️⃣ Reduce the decision to one criterion. 2️⃣ Use an observable state to satisfy it. 3️⃣ Lock the future outcome in advance. 4️⃣ Elevate the social cost of reopening. If you’re a solopreneur, creator, or operator who feels mentally busy but stuck in place, this might change how you think about follow-through forever. ++++++++++ Chapters: 00:00 Why Overthinking Kills Projects 00:49 The ‘More Information’ Trap 01:51 From Choice to Rule 03:09…
