Mental Models

Mental models are frameworks we use to think about the world, make decisions and take action. All of us are already using mental models in our daily lives. You Only Live Once (YOLO), for example, is a simple mental model a lot of us use when deciding on whether or not to book that summer holiday to Rome or to go to that rock concert with our friends.

When listening to interviews and reading books of a lot of succefull people, I realised that they all have good mental models that help them make better decisions in their lives.

Positive oriented question can sometimes be hard to formulate. But if you start with things you don’t want then it makes it easier.

Asking 5 why’s directed towards the specific goal of getting to the bottom of why we do a certain thing.
