🎯 What Good Judgment Actually Looks Like
In today's world, judgment - fast, smart decision-making - might be the most important skill you can have.
The big mistake most people make: focusing on what others think instead of building their own point of view first.
The Breakdown of Good Judgment:
- 80% Strategy / 20% Execution
- Within Strategy: 80% Psychology / 20% Planning
- Within Psychology: 80% Self-awareness
Do the math: over 50% of your effort should go toward working on your own thinking.
If your mind isn't right, even the best plan falls apart.
Remember: Good judgment is about focusing on what you can control - your internal mindset - not outside factors. About 5% is your story, and 95% is your daily habits and routine.
