Well done, including the prompts. I'm reminded of Eno's Oblique Strategies.

Thanks for the link. Any favorite prompts that help you think?
"Discover the recipes you're using and abandon them" from Oblique Strategies is a good one.

For significant personal decisions, I sometimes reflect: "If my kids faced this decision/situation, what mental framework would I be proud of them using?" This question is so effective, it's embarrassing.

Edit: "almost embarrassing" --> "embarrassing"

This is cool, thanks for the link.
