Go Outside

Before you make a big decision, go for a walk around the block.

• If it’s raining out, take the dog for a run.
• End the meeting a few minutes early and go for a stroll with the team.
• Instead of an afternoon snack, consider some sunshine.

The less convenient, the more it pays. A hard habit to create, but definitely worth it. When in doubt, go outside. Especially when it’s inconvenient.

Gall's Law

Reflections on perbit Insight before 2020.

"A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked. A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be patched up to make it work. You have to start over with a working simple system."

However he did add a qualifier "A simple system may or may not work."
