Love this idea from @EmmetPeppers:
It’s not necessarily good to be the smartest person in the room on a niche, you want to be able to identify who the smartest people are in the room. – Emmet Peppers

Idea: Crazy Roommate Thoughts
Apply the same skepticism to your own thoughts as you would to the ramblings of an outsider like a crazy roommate. I cannot remember the source of this idea but I will update this post if I can remember it.

Idea: Sort Tasks by Energy State
If you have a never ending todo list try sorting the list by energy state. High and low energy tasks. A high energy task would be something that takes quit a bit of mental bandwidth. When you feel tired or uninspired you do the low energy tasks. When you feel amazing or during your most productive time of day do the high energy tasks.
An alternative sort method is to do the thing you least want to do first.
If memory serves this idea comes from Khe Hy

Idea: Bonds are the Truth
I can’t remember where I read this but the idea is that Bond markets are more sophisticated than equity markets so Bonds tell the truth. Bonds are closer to reality than equities.
Update: I remember now, the idea comes from Raoul Pal
