On Hats, Haircuts, and Tattoos
I think about decisions in three ways: hats, haircuts, and tattoos.
Most decisions are like hats. Try one and if you don't like it, put it back and try another. The cost of a mistake is low, so move quickly and try a bunch of hats.
Some decisions are like haircuts. You can fix a bad one, but it won't be quick and you might feel foolish for awhile. That said, don't be scared of a bad haircut. Trying something new is usually a risk worth taking. If it doesn't work out, by this time next year you will have moved on and so will everyone else.
A few decisions are like tattoos. Once you make them, you have to live with them. Some mistakes are irreversible. Maybe you’ll move on for a moment, but then you'll glance in the mirror and be reminded of that choice all over again. Even years later, the decision leaves a mark. When you're dealing with an irreversible choice, move slowly and think carefully.

(Hat tip to @tferriss, who once compared making decisions to choosing a sweater, which sent me down this line of thinking.)
One of the key things I learned from James Clear is the need to start by focusing on who you want to become instead of what you want to achieve.
For instance, if you want to lose weight, your goal shouldn't be “I want to drop 30kg”. Instead, you should gear your thinking towards something like “I want to become someone who exercises five times per week or eats healthy every day”.
This is because it's easier to stick to a habit once it becomes your identity.
