danecjensen··on Ask HN: What mental models do you use everyday?
My summary of the advice on this page:

#1 Just do it - You are going to die. Life is short. Regret comes from the things you didn't try so just go, do the thing, climb the wall, do the hard thing, don't be comfortable. Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good.

#2 Seek novelty and your own curiosity - Interesting and unfashionable is where the real fun is.

Seems to be an argument between whether you want to double down on strengths or be decent in a lot of areas. I think Scott Adams advice is best here I think you want to combine two or three things you are top 10% at into one thing you are the best at.

Some interesting one liners:

- people are not internally consistent look for revealed perferences by what people actually do

- Finishing is a skill (per Derek Yu).

- I am probably overreacting or missing something. (I'd call this Hanlons Razor)

- "All things are ready, if our minds be so." - Shakespeare

- Praise in public, criticise in private

- Practice Observe, Orient, Decide, Act (OODA Loop)

- Quantity first eventually results in higher quality.
