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.
