Paradoxical suggestions from the coach Leonid Krol (for example, to relax and be lazy), and as a bonus, a few warnings on how not to fall into the trap and not lose everything at all (both resources and opportunities).
1. Learn to feel the time of the arrival of activity, try to act in the “windows” of your own opportunities.
2. Rest more and richer, do not be afraid of being lazy.
3. Look for examples of success in people with a similar psychotype, do not listen to universal advice “for everyone”.
4. Dare to wait until the uncertainty (blurring of sentences, meanings) takes on a real shape.
5. Work with anxiety: first take care of how to calm it, and only then – act.

6. More resort to advisers, and to professionals. Better to lose a little with them than a lot without them.
7. Keep track of internal mutterings and fluctuations, do not mistake them for the work of thought.
8. Images and enumeration of pictures are better than the logic of reasoning.
9. Draw and move when deciding how to use resources.
10 Aim and shoot physically, representing the implementation of the plan.
11 Catch your strong-willed, emotional and image-forming waves, ride them without falling under their ice rink.
12 Listen to both yourself inside and the circumstances from the outside – with two different ears, equally well tuned.

“How We Make Decisions”
American journalist Jonah Lehrer could not choose cereal for breakfast in the supermarket. And I thought of writing an essay about it. Lehrer notes that we make some decisions after thinking well, others spontaneously. True, upon closer examination, the second choice turns out to be not at all spontaneous, it entirely depends on our experience.
Only forward
What pitfalls are possible in the way of decision making?
1. Consider that “something is missing” to start moving.
2. Act on the basis of “paroxysm”, “fit of will”: jump up and run.
3. Counting for a long time, taking away and adding up, walking in circles, losing will and confidence.
4. More to assess the risks than the “buy-in” and the likelihood of a tailwind.
5. Do not trust intuition, which whispers, hints, knocks on the window …
6. When luck comes, consider that it will always be so, and do nothing more (or do, but not enough).
7. “Back” when lucky, postpone, refuse “just in case.”
8. Devalue yourself and others, act, but timidly.
9. Create confusion, deviate from accuracy for fear of risks and consequences.
