Key Takeaways

1

Maintain a 'Decision Register' to document the single, non-blended reason for major choices, which helps evaluate your judgment independently of the final outcome.

2

Prioritize 'Big Rocks' by scheduling significant life experiences and family time first, preventing work from naturally expanding to fill your entire calendar.

3

Calculate the 'Life Energy' cost of purchases by converting dollar amounts into the number of working hours required to earn that money to avoid irrational spending.
