May 22: Try Decision Categorization
Take hats off quickly, apply tattoos carefully.
The "Hat, Haircut, Tattoo" framework helps allocate appropriate decision-making energy: "Hat" decisions (easily reversible) can be made quickly, "Haircut" decisions (moderately consequential) require more thought, and "Tattoo" decisions (long-lasting impacts) deserve thorough consideration.
Take Action: Categorize today's decisions using the "Hat, Haircut, Tattoo" framework. Match your consideration level to each decision type - make quick calls on "hat" decisions while giving "tattoo" decisions the deeper thought they deserve. Note if this prevents overthinking or rushing important decisions.
