Hold yourself accountable to the evidence:
1. Clearly define success and failure, so you can't sidestep failure by saying you were trying to accomplish something else
2. Counter confirmation bias by actively trying to prove your intervention wrong
3. Be prepared to abandon or change your intervention. It helps to have a Plan B you’re excited about
4. Get an external review by an impartial, intelligent third party

Pareto principle: 20% of your effort may give you 80% of the benefits. Before jumping into managing tasks, select only those with high priority
and leave the others undone. In other words, you apply the 80/20 principle to sorting out the small minority of tasks you should actually work on.

• When was the last time I went against my intuition and trusted someone else?
