I’d like to see myself as an evidence based thinker. But I suspect that I’m subject to the same shortcomings as most people. Human tendencies describe in books like Thinking Fast and Slow. So, yeah, when I take the time I’m more likely to get things right.
For better or worse, my strategy is one of triage: Is THIS something important that I might have a meaningful effect on? If so, I’ll take some time, do some research, think it through and act on what I hope is a good decision.
