Comment on Ask HN: What are your fav/goto decision making hacks/heuristics?

Comments

Be aware if some decision is reversible - and if so, go carelessly.

For example: should I go to gyms in the morning or afternoon? Why spend 30 minutes thinking about that, you can just change next week and see what works. I get into these mental traps.

Similarly, many times implementing both options (software) is cheap and you can just test instead of mentally elaborating on what would be better... once its done, its obvious. Also goes for undoing changes with git.
