1432 || the final "rules of thumb" for a good life

Some rules of thumb we review today include:

"Is there a better use of my time?"

"Stress vs. Reward Analysis"

"It's okay to not finish a book you were reading for pleasure."

"The braggers razor: the more someone brags, the less you should believe them."

"Writing knife block: If struggling to understand something, write it down."

"Opinions are earned, not owed."

"Under-promise, and over-deliver."

Rules of thumb should be applied in context. No rule should be applied universally! They're there to make life more rewarding and easier, so use them as a tool to help reduce over-analyzing things to death.
