One potential problem is having too many maximal probability moments at once, depending one the nature of the hacks you’re trying to implement. It’s an embarassment of riches, honestly.
For example, I had a maximal probability moment for about 7 or 8 life-hacks after I came back from minicamp and there was no way I could implement all of them at once because each one would require some amount of concerted effort, so I was better off focusing on a couple at first. When this comes up, often there is a best hack or two to focus on, but the trivial inconvenience of figuring out which ones to focus on may just prevent you from implementing any. I know it’s happened to me. When in this situation, just pick something. Anything. It doesn’t matter, really. Implementing something is much better than wanting to implement the best something but actually implementing nothing at all and the marginal gain from implementing the best thing probably isn’t worth the risk of implementing nothing.
I think in this situation, you could use the momentum to implement one hack which increases the probability of implementing all of them is the future. For example, buying a white board, writing all the life-hacks ideas you got from the minicamp and putting it in a very visible place.
Great post!
