← People and their mental models
4 claims Tobias Sjösten made fit 3 mental models. Most often: Less, but better, Feedback loops, Lock-in and switching costs. Everything they said here.
Shorten the loop between doing and finding out; whatever a loop rewards is what you become.
Their wordsFeedback is a fundamental process for human development, without which nothing could reliably improve.
People stay with what they would not choose again because leaving costs more than staying; watch who sets that cost.
Their wordsIt's effectively an artificial vendor lock-in, forcing you to stay within their ecosystem.
Find the essence and cut the rest; simplicity is hard work, not the absence of effort.
Their wordsIf the book Essentialism taught me anything, it's that you have to turn down a lot of good options in order to really double down on and benefit from the one great option.
Their wordsThe less you say, the more clearly you communicate. Not in terms of number of words or minute of discussion - that seems to never be enough - but in ideas and directions.
