And most of them end up being bad, because you waited too long to make them good.Shane Parrish spent years inside Canadian intelligence, making real-time decisions where the stakes were other people's lives, long before he founded Farnam Street and The Knowledge Project podcast. He's the author of <a href="https://amzn.to/3Rm6Q44" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Clear Thinking: Turning Ordinary Moments into Extraordinary Results</a>, and has quietly become the person elite investors, athletes, and Silicon Valley leaders turn to when a single decision carries outsized weight.In this conversation, you'll explore:<ul><li>Why the position you're in before a decision matters more than the decision itself, and how Warren Buffett almost never finds himself in a bad one</li><li>The four hidden "defaults" that hijack your thinking before you notice</li><li>The three-word phrase Shane uses with his own kids to defuse an argument before it escalates</li><li>Why "doing your best" almost never happens in the hour it counts, and what actually determines the outcome</li><li>A simple night-before, morning-after trick for spotting the blind spots in any decision you're about to make</li></ul>Whatever season of life you're in, this conversation will change how you see the ordinary moments that quietly decide everything else.You can find Shane at: <a href="https://fs.blog/about/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Website</a> | <a href="https://www.instagram.com/farnamstreet/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a> | <a href="https://www.goodlifeproject.com/podcast/decision-fatigue-overthinking-clear-thinking-shane-parrish-best-of" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Episode Transcript</a>Next week, we're sitting down with Angela Duckworth to talk about why the advice to just make the best of your situation might be exactly backwards, and how the people and things within arm's reach are quietly shaping who you become before you ever get a say.
