Reversible and Irreversible Decisions

“Reversible decisions don’t need to be made the same way as irreversible decisions.” Great piece from the folks at Farnam Street about the reversible / irreversible decision framework. “The biggest risk to irreversible decisions is deciding before you need to. The biggest risk to reversible ones is waiting until the last minute. Make reversible decisions as soon as possible and make irreversible decisions as late as possible”
