Thirty days of instrumental rationality practice. (sequence description)
Your question is a good one, that I think gets asked periodically. There might be more/better answers on similar questions. If anyone who knows what the related tags are, that might help.
So far, I think of Strategy as a method for determining tactics to achieve a goal, and may include developing a step-by-step plan. I see a variety of techniques fitting this framework:
I’m not sure offhand what Strategy is (as separate from tactics.) That said perhaps this Sequence will be helpful:

So far, I think of Strategy as a method for determining tactics to achieve a goal, and may include developing a step-by-step plan. I see a variety of techniques fitting this framework:
focusing: to see if I’m conflicted about my goal.
theory of change: to formulate a plan tracing potential actions backward from my goal to my current state
murphyjitsu: to identify and prepare for threats to success for the strategy and the tactics.
goal factoring: to assess behaviors that compose the strategy and tactics and combine them to better achieve the end.
research as a stochastic decision process: to help allocate effort efficiently.
I’ll check out hammertime. Thanks for the suggestion.
