Friday, smooth AI operator! Let’s make AI work more, and you less, in 5 min:

2 years ago I read Daniel Kahneman's Nobel Prize-winning work on human decision-making: Thinking Fast and Slow (amazing book).

Now I ask myself 5 questions to expose the cognitive traps we fall into DAILY.

And AI makes me twice as smart, here's HOW:

1. "Am I too stressed to think clearly?"

STRESS is the nemesis of SMART decision-making.

Why it matters:

- Stress narrows your focus, leading to tunnel vision.

- It heightens negative emotions.

HACK: before a big decision, assess your stress levels, with a ChatGPT VOICE chat.

2. "What would you think about this... if it were SOMEONE ELSE's decision?"

Kahneman says:

Our brains are wired with an "inside view". We're too close to OUR OWN choices.

But when your best friend has the same dilemma you're a genius consultant!

AI HACK: ask the AI what would it do in your place.

What would be the SMARTEST way to approach this?

What are you missing or avoiding?

You'll be surprised, I am sometimes.

3. "What's my EXIT strategy?"

Some decisions are reversible, others are not. Knowing the difference is crucial for managing risk and avoiding decision paralysis.

Before committing, ask yourself: "What happens if I change my mind?"

Get the AI to explain the consequences.

4. " Do I have ENOUGH evidence?"

Don't blindly trust every piece of information.

Is it credible? Are there CONFLICTING viewpoints?

By questioning the evidence, you become a critical thinker instead of a passive consumer of information.

Ask Perplexity AI to find evidence.

5. "Am I thinking FAST or SLOW?"

According to Kahneman, our brains have 2 modes of thinking:

- Fast: Intuitive, emotional, and prone to errors.

- Slow: Analytical, logical, and more reliable.

Fast is great for everyday decisions, slow is crucial for important choices.

HACK:

1. I ask the AI if some of my decisions were rushed or is the reasoning actually solid.

2. I explain the thought process.

So that I can see my blind spots or make even SMARTER decisions.

Instead of getting fooled by my human biases.

BONUS: "What would I think about this a year from now?"

Some investments are HUGE game-changers in 2-3 years for you.

Some present FEARS are nothing in 1 week.

Stay grounded, don't let the present feeling deceive you.

Ask the AI how LONG this decision can impact you.
