The best ideas are imperfect
The insight that the best ideas are imperfect is vital to remember if we want to learn how to make decisions and take action.
For example, Albert Einstein developed the general theory of relativity, which is one of the most important ideas in modern physics. However, while his ideas explain how the universe works, it breaks down in certain cases (like inside black holes.)

'All models are wrong, some are useful'
These famous words of statistician George Box pointed out that we should focus more on whether something can be useful in daily life than debating if it is correct in all cases. The test of knowledge is utility, not truth.
Einstein's work was not always correct, but it has been very useful to increase our understanding of the world and to use for practical purposes such as the Global Positioning Systems (GPS) used in your phone.

How to make decisions in an imperfect world
We can develop a broad collection of thinking frameworks, also known as metal models. The more mental models you possess, the more tools you have in your thinking toolbox.
For example, ways to think about productivity:
- The 2-minute rule. If something takes less than two minutes, do it now.
- The Ivy Lee method. Create a to-do list writing down the six most important things to do tomorrow, then prioritise them and work on them in order.
- The Seinfeld strategy. Pick a new habit and mark an X on the calendar for each day you stick with the behaviour.

Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

Even five minutes a day will improve your thinking. I've come across new ideas and learnt to improve existing ways to become more motivated, confident and happier.

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
