Everyday thinking tools
Think a little better about the choices you already make.One mental model, one everyday decision.
A mental model is a simple way of looking at a problem. Each one here comes with what it is, when to use it, an example from ordinary Indian life, the trap to watch for, and one small thing to try today.
What each model gives you
Short, clear, and made for real life.
Every model follows the same five parts, so you always know where to look.
The idea, in plain words
What the model says and who came up with it, in a few lines. No jargon, no textbook.
An example from your week
A job offer, an EMI, a family wedding budget, a flat on rent, advice from a relative. The kind of decision you are already making.
The trap to watch for
Every tool can be misused. Each model says where it stops helping, so you do not lean on it too hard.
One thing to try today
A question to ask or a line to write down. Small enough to do before dinner.
How to use a model
Read it, spot it, try it.
Mental models only help when you use them on something real.
001
Read one model
Two minutes is enough. Pick the one that sounds like something you are dealing with right now.
002
Spot it in your week
Notice where it shows up: in a meeting, at a shop, in a family conversation, on your UPI history.
003
Try it on one decision
Use the question at the end of the model on one real choice, and see if you would decide differently.
The Sunday model
One model a week, in your inbox.
Each Sunday: one mental model and one real decision to try it on. Short enough to read with your morning chai. One click stops it, and the list is never sold or shared.
Better decisions are mostly small ones.
The models are free. Start with one that fits your week. This is a way to think, not financial, medical or legal advice.
