I can tell this video would be very helpful but its pretty long for some people to be watching for 90 mins. for these longer vids you have maybe throw the audio on a podcast? bet it would increase your viewership too. just a thought, cheers
"After I watch TV, my mind is trying to problem-solve and connect the dots between the fictional characters in the different shows that I've watched, MORE than it's trying to solve my own immediate problems" ----> Genius! That's the netfilx society we live in! People are tricked into caring about fake stories more than their own fucking life!!

well thats what they are supposed to do cause we humans like to escape from things instead of facing them it might be emotional problems or some other kinds of barriers .. most of the time watching movies or playing games arent "entertainment" they are just distractions from the real world pain and struggles

Who came here from Hamza?🙋🏻♂️ I watched this last year, and I still got something out of it this time as my life circumstances change. Thank you Sam! You’re the G!

Well you can blame them, and they might be responsible and have blame for the problem, but you're the one responsible to fix it! So you're doing great sitting here, watching Sam ;)
Its interesting that Seneca had these ideas centuries ago, thats why I love old books! People in the past had a lot of less distractions to think deep and come up with deep ideas!
Hey Sam, this was really great. You really did a great job on breaking it down into three segments comprised of multiple steps of consideration or actions. This really organized my mind. Now when I'm about to make any type of decision, I know how to evaluate it in such a way that the probability of me making a bad decision has been reduced significantly. This can be applied to any type of decision in any area of my life. I am definitely going to watch this two or three more times until it is solidified as a map in my mindset. Thank you.
Really love your mental models - I can say you changed my life by using the long term and 2nd order consequences, happy to see there are even more mental models to be learnt, thanks alot Sam, your a mentor to alot of entrepreneurs without even knowing it
Also the video that introduced me to Sam as well, great info he provides. His content is life changing for those us who are totally open, honest and willing to work towards excellence.
DUDE .... i needed this video Today.. going thru some shit.. got a lot of work on my hands and this video really gave me clarity on how to execute. Thanks for another GREAT video Sam. You're a Legend.
Insane. I’ve just been needing exactly this type of video for a while. Tried again today and you’ve uploaded 16 hours ago. Great channel! Happy birthday, Sam!
After watching this video, I am left thinking that this stuff sounds so obvious, yet I have never learned to do it, or thought about doing it. And that is true for most people I know. It is amazing what sitting down and critically thinking about your principles and how you live your life can make you concsious to the tasks you should be doing more off, and cutting off a lot of irrelevant noise that exists in your life. Thanks Sam, very well presented as always.

Sam back at it again with another explosive video. Aspiring entrepreneurs who watch your videos are extremely advantageous if they apply these principles.
I think another way to do it as well in terms of merging the half life, MVP & reducing loads concept can be deciding on a specific time to make those recurring decisions. So for example use an hour on a Saturday to pick out outfits for the coming week. Especially because not everyone’s industry makes sense to wear the same shirt daily for 10years - for example the beauty industry and things like confidence and also because some people (aka me) actually enjoy self expression through clothing. But instead of taking an hour a day to figure it out, I use an hr on the weekend to decide in advance. I actually grew up wearing a uniform to school so there was no decision fatigue around clothing BUT I had to iron my uniforms and so instead of ironing one each morning I would batch iron on a Sunday so I could just grab and go. So I think a similar concept and a great midpoint and minimum viable outfit lol with a longer half life than just deciding daily. Plus it allows people who enjoy that to do something they actually enjoy without feeling they can’t do what they love 😊 plus when you feel you look good... you feel good - it’s like a nice refreshing shower 🥰 . A way to do it with food can also be setting the meal plan for the coming week or coming 2 weeks. In my household we do “monthly grocery” depending on what the vibe for the month is (for example summer cuisine is very different than winter), that way there’s a longer half life and load reduction but with the ability to be flexible and creative and enjoy the process of food if food brings you joy
Awesome content as always Sam, really insightfull the part about taking decisions that have a huge half life, we sometimes don't figure out that we spent precious cognitive energy in trivial decisions. In future content I would like you to explain more mental models in much more detail. Thanks a lot and keep exponentially getting better 😄
I felt like I was watching an episode of chess for life :) I wonder how easy it is to “undo” quitting your job. I’m just getting back into exercising regularly and already noticing some of the 2nd+ order consequences and looking forward to the others. I appreciate you making this content when I know you could be doing 100 other things and don’t need the money. Look forward to your next video on Tuesday.
Really like these videos you're making lately; very foundational! I see snippets of your previous episodes in these lessons and it's really cool to see it all come together!
Thank you Sam, Love the way, you simplify processes to to prevent energy wastage. This is masterpiece, and I really going to put some serious work to it. Thanks again. Please keep doing what you doing. 🙏

Thanks for the info Sam, just by looking at you I can see you are a methodical thinker and processor. The whole world wants to put out content but very few understand the need for relevance and how to properly deliver it. You’ve taught me much, so thank you once again and keep up the great work. You have my attention.
Saying “no” is such a crucial part of living a more productive life. It’s tough, though, as so many “experts” say to hustle and say yes to everything that comes your way. There is even a book called “Yes Man.” Practically thinking, it is a very destructive habit to develop. Awesome advice Sam!
i'm currently studying mental models, and the last three that you've added I've never came across, yet they're really great and logical, thanks again Sam
One of my friends has a history of making bad decisions. Big ones. If I look at him from a fractal pattern kind of way he continues to make bad decisions even for little things. Like ordering completely wacked up food order in a restaurant that nobody tends to like. Also understanding repeatable patterns in myself has helped me pivot from the bad ones. Understanding good patterns also gives confidence and tells me where I am headed in the future. Thus simplifying decision making.
How can I say it... This video gave me more value than entire paid programs... Since I know you read the comments yourself, Sam, thanks for giving so much value. Regarding a new topic for next week, it could be how to read a book to make the most of it. Keep going man and btw, happy birthday!
Pure 💎💎💎 Thank you so much for this. Gained a lot of value. Am also so happy I saw this video recommended by Hamza. Super grateful for this video. Thank you!🤝♥️
This video is the kind of stuff you would usually be extremely pessimistic about. It's the equivalent of finding a bunch of money on the street and just picking it up without consequences lol Probably the best video I have ever seen on RU-vid. Surely among the top 3. Not only an important topic, but also the thought process behind it is very very well filtered you can tell. And the explanations are on point so you can follow so well. Now the only thing that needs to be done is repeating this over time. You could never apply all the value that is provided here at once. Downloaded it on the phone even before I was done and actually the last third was even more insane than the rest Sam ovens the kind of guy that if he was selling me something I would thank him :D

This video has a fucking ton of value! My notes: Reduce load 1. Make less decisions - decision fatigue 2. Do less stuff - sacrifice - like in chess - say no, more than yes 3. Make one decision that removes future decisions - same cloths every day or at least have it planned and do the same thing all the time, with food too - delivery 4. simple personal life - relationships, hobbies… - don't increase lifestyle (buying useless stuff) after getting rich 1. Low maintenance partner - love isn't ownership and there are more important things 5. Limit surface area - how are things distracting you throughout the day (notifications…) - eliminate everything and make everything as effective as possible Think critically 1. Do your own analysis and don't copy others - question everything - if everybody else does it, it's probably the wrong thing to do - in the beginning learn from others though - copy the GOATs 1. All the successful people did something different than others and were ridiculed at the beginning 2. Don't copy the crowd - Minimum viable wedding - only do the things that actually makes sense and are important - MVP - Lean startup 3. Core principles and values - take time to define them - use them to make decisions aligned with your mission - whole company needs to know it 4. Decision patterns - analyze decisions of people (also yours) that they made long ago and look for patterns - does it lead to something great or terrible? Apply mental models 1. Define the goal - the north start to know where you are going - all your actions must lead to this goal 2. Think long-term - decades - both in every day life and while setting goals 3. Project decision options - project where the decisions take me (if it gets me closer to my long term goal) 4. Calculate half life - When will I have to do this decision again? Can I just erase making this decision out of my life? 5. Second order consequences - make decisions that pay dividends instead of making you decay - what is going to happen after the decision was made 1. Second, third, fourth… 2. make it dramatic: If i eat this chocolate, I will get fat, which will make me dumb and sluggish, which will make me not achieve my goal and that makes my life miserable. Is it worth eating? - also use the other way around - if I worked whole day… 6. Dependencies and sequence - look at it from a longer perspective - What is the most efficient sequence of doing tasks? What projects depend on other ones (- do those first)? 7. Input and output symmetry - weigh how much you have to put in and how much you get out - ideally you input 1 and output 10 8. Risk, ease of undo - make sure that the reward and chance of achieving it outweigh the cost of failing. Also look at how difficult is to undone the decision 9. Counteract trough - start with a project that brings rewards in the short-term and then let it fuel a bigger project that brings the fruits only after a long time (Consulting.com made Skool possible and then was sold)
Loving the content Sam, I liked before I even watched the video. You always over deliver on the videos!!! I have a question about persistence. How long should you remain persistent on a specific course of action ? Examples: Should you make 100, 1,000 or 10,000 cold calls ? Should you change the script after 200 calls or 500 calls ? Should you produce video content for 3 months or 1 year ? Basically at what point do you determine when something isnt working so your not banging your head against the wall ? Thanks, Nathan
Thanks, Sam. Making the right decisions is a critical area in our life. You precisely explained all about it at the micro level. Based on this video one can make the right decision and get good long-term results.😀
Good analogy to chess play. Very nice example about beast that need to be fed and eventually can ruin your business. You are rock. Very good structured.
This is super genius. How the heck did you learn this Sam!? Wow man, this is stellar. This explains everything in business and life. I've been slow at decision making all my life. Many times indecisive. This is definitely a cure. Thank you!
I didn't know it was your birthday today, but now I learned something new. Happy birthday to a brilliant entrepreneur and thinker! One little feedback. Whenever you make videos about 1 topic and go very deep into that topic I seem to absorb it better than list-type videos. Although this video is gold and I am planning on documenting it.
