Meta decision making is much more powerful than deciding in the moment.
Examples:
- Instead of trying to limit IG use, delete social media apps and lock new app installs to your phone
- Instead of deciding to meditate each day, commit to every day and check off on calendar

Learning to identify super talented people before everyone else does is one of the most valuable skills to develop.
