When making difficult decisions, instead of focusing on which one I'd be more excited for, I focus on which one I'd regret not doing. That allows me to size my opportunity cost and then I optimize for regret minimization, as opposed to happiness maximization -- especially since happiness is hard to measure, whereas we're a lot more tuned to negative emotions such as regret. Turns out it's an example of inversion!
As someone who loves to engage in a lot of activities, reading about Pareto’s Principle definitely gave me a new perspective. I think Pareto’s also pairs really well with Inversion and am looking forward to leveraging both! Thanks for sharing Andrew!
Huh, inverse thinking. Interesting. I can think of times where I have done this by accident to great effect. I'm looking forward to attempting it with intentionality. I have just the scenario today to practice this with!

Thanks for sharing Andrew...going to try this inversion concept with a few things this week! Best to you in this new venture...
Woah Andrew this article is interesting! I'm definitely going to try out inversion instead of what I normally do.
