Rationality (and other) heuristics I’ve actually found useful for getting stuff done, but unfortunately you probably won’t:
1: Get it done quickly and soon. Every step of every process outside of yourself will take longer than expected, so the effective deadline is sooner than you might think. Also if you don’t get it done soon you might forget (or forget some steps).
1(A): 1 is stupidly important.
2: Do things that set off positive feedback loops. Aggressively try to avoid doing other things. I said aggressively.
2(A): Read a lot, but not too much.*
3: You are probably already making fairly reasonable choices over the action set you are considering. It’s easiest to fall short(er) of optimal behavior by failing to realize you have affordances. Discover affordances.
4: Eat.
(I think 3 is least strongly held)
*I’m describing how to get things done. Reading more has other benefits, for instance if you don’t know the thing you want to get done yet, and its pleasant and self-actualizing.

What was 3?
2(A) lol, fixed now.
