A quote
“One who sees inaction in action, and action in inaction, is intelligent among men.” – Bhagavad Gita
A Mental Model
First principles thinking: People like Elon Musk, Aristotle, Munger, etc. all believe in first principles thinking. First principles thinking essentially means starting your process from the basics and the area's main principles and then building around those fundamentals.
Actionable takeaway: You can try and figure out the complex things you go through or the complex things you come across and then try to find the basic fundamental idea underlying and then work on it. This will help you find a simpler solution hopefully. Another thing you can check out is the Feynman technique.
