You can't force yourself to think any faster. Speeding up your thinking process often results in poor decisions that create future problems. You can't force yourself to make faster decisions just because you're faced with an unrealistic deadline. Slow down.

My take home: Always be on the lookout for hidden objectives. Don’t settle for framing complex decisions with a single value optimization function. Ask yourself: what other values can I bring about in the world with this decision? can I do better? newyorker.com/magazine/2023/…

Good decision-makers understand a simple truth: you can’t make good decisions without good thinking, and good thinking requires time. You can pay the price now or later. The time to get it right is less than the time to correct the mistake.

Bad decisions accumulate, making your position increasingly worse. You can think of it like playing Tetris. When you’re in a bad position, you need just the right piece to clear the board. When you’re in a good position, it doesn’t matter what comes next.

One heuristic to tell how good someone is at making decisions is how much time they have. The busiest people are often the ones who make the worst decisions. Not only do they have less time to think about the problem, but they are often busy correcting poor past decisions.
