Hi @wcy. I have not read any of these books although they seem very interesting.
For example, I never comply with the 5 second rule. I think, I rethink and think again before acting on something I have doubts.
My strategies are very simple:
Do not act impulsively.
Do not act in anger.
Do not act under the influence of pain.
Many times I follow the intuition of my heart.
Do everything that makes me happy understanding that limits exist.
This is a great strategy @marcybetancourt and I think you are right in that the 5 second rule does not necessarily apply to everything in life, but there are certainly times when I have thought, and re-thought, and second guessed myself and then just didn't act at all (say waking up early and working out OR understanding whether to say yes to a passing opportunity).
