> Many seemingly big decisions are also kind of reversible

Funny how I practice and preach this in my job. When it comes to applying the same framework to decisions in life, I fail to do so

I'm somehow able to find really poor framings that present decisions as irreversible. For example, choosing to go to a smaller co with nice people but worse pay makes the opportunity cost of staying in my current job something that's not reversible (i.e. I'll never get the money et al, so the time isn't spent as good as it could've been). Thanks for reminding me of this, something I need to repeat to myself every day.
