⚡ Train Fast, Think Fast: Building Your Decision Muscle
Great athletes always train at game speed first - before worrying about perfection. The same rule applies to decision-making.
Why speed first?
Speed creates pressure. Learning to handle that pressure builds real skill. If you only practice slowly, you'll freeze when real life demands fast answers.
Try Visceral Drafting:
Instead of digging up old notes, start completely fresh. Your brain has already updated itself with the latest information - trust it!
Going back to old notes = "Frankenstein" solutions (patching old ideas together)
The Burned Plan trick: Imagine your old plan is gone. What would you do RIGHT NOW? This forces fresh, prioritised thinking.
Organise ideas like sorting a house - group them into rooms, then decide which room matters most.
Speed first, quality follows naturally.
