Mental Models

A curated collection of "Tools for Thought." These are the timeless frameworks I use to decipher the world, make decisions, and solve problems.

Thinking

Boil things down to the most fundamental truths and reason up from there.

Problem Solving

Avoid stupidity rather than seeking brilliance. Turn problems upside down.

Decision Making

The value of the next best alternative that you give up when making a choice.

Productivity

80% of consequences come from 20% of the causes. Focus on the vital few.

Decision Making

Ask 'And then what?' to understand the long-term consequences of a decision.
