A batch of the best highlights from what Siddish's read, .
Another interesting take from the chess world is the Falsification Ratio as explained by <a href="https://twitter.com/nabeelqu">@nabeelqu</a>:
For grandmasters, this is 4:1 — they’ll spend 1 minute finding the right move, and another 4 minutes trying to falsify it.
Whereas for amateurs this is something like 0.5:1 — 1 minute finding the move, 30 seconds making a cursory effort to falsify it.
There’s a direct correlation between how skilled you are as a chess player, and how much time you spend falsifying your ideas.
To make better decisions, consider the time you spend trying to falsify your idea compared to the time you initially took to come up with it.

At the end of a session, or at any substantial break, always write down your thoughts, however vague, on what will come next. This is a very good tip. Don't get up without doing it, even to answer nature's call. Write or type the notes directly onto the end of the text, where they can be looked at and crossed off as used, A few scraps will do, and will save half an hour of warming up when you start again.

Slotting my next day's tasks in my calendar forces me to
1) be more thoughtful about how long each task will really take (because otherwise I tend to be too optimistic 😃)
2) accept the real limitations of my day (e.g. "there's no way I can fit these 3 large tasks tomorrow")
