I think that in video where i don't really know what to expect you should really add timestamps. That helps a great deal rewatching certain bits and general navigation. Many creators have started to apply this in their videos as youtube has also started supporting it natively This is my very first and sincere suggestion.

I would like to add 4 questions you can ask yourself when trying to determine the best action to take (sort of like a more organized what-if analysis). I first discovered these questions while reading Dr. Ben Carson's book "Take the Risk", which I highly recommend. 1. What is the best possible outcome if action is chosen 2. What is the best possible outcome if action is not chosen 3. What is the worst possible outcome if action is chosen 4. What is the worst possible outcome if action is not chosen Once you have answers to these 4 simple questions, it often becomes clear what the best alternative is.

What I find difficult is acting on the plan. Is there a stage where there is too much planning and not enough action? Is it easier to plan once you’ve already reached success? I think most people have an uncertainty about their plan which leads to inaction. That uncertainty is also coupled with fear. Attacking those 2 areas of ones plan to change or accomplish something, I feel is necessary to then really take advantage of planning.

This answer is probably incomplete, but I find that setting deadlines for myself helps me to strike that balance between planning and action. I know I can always course-correct along the way, so it's useful to make the best plan I can in a short amount of time, and then to use a deadline as a way to spur myself to get things done.

A major advancement in my bullet journaling was adding an anticipation entry for each calendar item. For example, when I had a doctor's appointment, I would enter what I expected to change after I attended that appointment. I also added space for anticipating events or changes in conditions that were outside conventional calendar items. Turns out, I became far better at predicting the course of my future, particularly in the short term.

Off topic comment, I've been taught that putting a barrier between you and someone you are having a conversation with has a lot of bad effects and it was in this video that I really felt and understood it. In the scene where you opened up your computer, my attention dropped and I had a harder time zooming back into the video. I tried to imagine how different it would have felt if you had moved the computer to the side at the same time and I believe that would have made the experience much better. I guess you learn every day.

Like Thomas, I also use Excel a lot. However, I think it is due more to the pleasure of using spreadsheets that their actual usefulness. For example, the budget spreadsheet might be very sophisticated, but relays on very important guesstimates. As such all the analysis is based on weak foundations. On the subject of combining human brain and computers, I'm not so sure I agree. Humans tend to be bad at making decisions and much of input and outcome is based on luck. For a better and much more eloquent explanation, you can read Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman.

In my eyes you show in the example with the house and the spreadsheet only one solution to the logical decision. But that has nothing at all to do with strategy. Strategy means thinking and planning many several steps ahead. Whether a strategy is good or bad is something you only know later. In the best case, it was good and you become known as a result. I was hoping to find out more about how to proceed in order to learn a strategy thinker (which often has to do with an extended horizon). Unfortunately you won't find any books about this. Nevertheless I am still very interested in the topic. Sorry for my bad english, but english is not my mother tongue.
