Undo Ho Sakta Hai? Toh Jaldi Kar
Overthinking Trap
Rhea ko YouTube channel start karna hai. 4 mahine ho gaye soch rahi hai.
Ideas hain. Camera hai. Time bhi hai.
Par start nahi ho raha.
"Agar flop hua toh?"
"Friends kya bolenge?"
"Pehle thoda aur content plan kar leti hoon..."
Woh Notion mein content calendar bana chuki hai. Thumbnails ke ideas note kar chuki hai. Competitor channels analyze kar chuki hai.
Ek video nahi banayi.
Camera cupboard mein pada hai. Ideas Notion mein stuck hain.
Irony dekho—woh YouTube video treat kar rahi hai jaise life-death decision ho.
Flop hua toh? Delete kar degi. Kisi ko yaad bhi nahi rahega.
Par "preparing" mein 4 mahine nikal gaye—kuch jo 2 hafte mein test ho sakta tha.
Seedhi Baat
Har decision ko same level ka analysis nahi chahiye.
Bezos isko aise explain karta hai:
Type 1 Decisions: Irreversible, high-impact, one-way doors.
Ek baar andar gaye, toh wapis aana mushkil.
Examples: Company bechna, shaadi karna, country shift karna.
Type 2 Decisions: Reversible, lower-stakes, two-way doors.
Try kar sakte ho, nahi chala toh wapis aa sakte ho.
Examples: Naya pricing try karna, side project test karna, YouTube channel start karna.
Life ke zyada tar decisions Type 2 hain.
Par log Type 2 ko bhi Type 1 ki tarah treat karte hain—aur paralyzed ho jaate hain un decisions pe jo simply try karke adjust ho sakti hain.
Galat hona okay hai.
Isme koi shame nahi.
Iska matlab bas yeh hai ki try kiya aur nahi chala.
Type 1 vs Type 2
Overthinking Tax
Har decision kuch mental energy maangti hai. Sawaal yeh hai: actually kitni deserve karti hai?
Jab 4 mahine analysis karo kisi cheez pe jo 2 hafte mein test ho sakti hai, toh overthinking tax de rahe ho:
- Time lost waiting
- Mental energy analysis mein drain
- Real-world feedback se learning ka opportunity cost
Hum Decisions Ko Overweight Kyun Karte Hain
Hum zyada tar decisions ko actual se zyada consequential treat karte hain kyunki:
- Galat hone ka darr — Galtiyon se bachna sikhaya gaya
- Sunk cost anticipation — Fail hone pe "waste" ka darr
- Social judgment — Log kya kahenge agar fail hua
Par reality zyada tar decisions ke liye:
- Fail hua toh seekho aur move on
- Succeed hua toh build karo
- Dono cases mein, stuck rehne se better ho
Real Risk
Sabse bada risk aksar galat Type 2 decision lena nahi hai.
Type 2 pe itna sochte rehna ki Type 1 decisions tak kabhi pahunchte hi nahi—jo actually matter karti hain.
Decision-making effort ko actual risk aur reversibility se match karo.
Rhea Ki Kahani
4 mahine ki planning. Zero videos.
Rhea ne finally khud se pucha: "Worst case kya hai?"
Worst case: Ek video banayi. Kisi ne nahi dekhi. Thoda embarrassment. Woh delete kar sakti hai.
Bas. Koi career khatam nahi. Koi life change nahi. Sirf thoda time spent learning.
The Shift
Usne Type 1 vs Type 2 filter apply kiya:
- Reversible hai? Haan—delete kar sakti hai, kisi ko yaad nahi rahega
- Worst-case cost? Thoda time, thoda embarrassment
- Chhota test kar sakti hai? Haan—ek video bana, dekh kya hota hai
Verdict: Type 2 decision. Planning band kar. Ek video bana.
Ek Hafte Baad
Pehli video upload ki. Shaky camera. Nervous voice. Far from perfect.
Views: 47. Comments: 3 (ek mummy ka).
Par kuch pata chala:
- Recording mushkil nahi hai jitna socha
- Editing actually fun hai
- Nervousness 5 minute mein kam ho jaati hai
Teen Mahine Baad
15 videos ho gayi. Most flopped. 2-3 ne decent views dekhe.
Channel abhi bhi chhota hai. Par Rhea ko ab pata hai kya kaam karta hai—not from planning, but from doing.
Woh 4 mahine ki planning? Useless thi. Real learning first video ke baad shuru hui.
Type 1 vs Type 2 Filter
Yeh 3-question filter use karo—assess karo kaunsi decision hai aur kitna time deserve karti hai.
Type 1 vs Type 2 Filter
Question 1: Reversible hai?
- Kya yeh decision undo ho sakti hai ya easily pivot?
- Mind change karna expensive, painful, ya public hoga?
Easily reversible → Type 2
Difficult/costly to reverse → Type 1
Question 2: Worst-case cost kya hai galat hone ka?
Real downside estimate karo—imagined embarrassment nahi.
- Financial loss?
- Time waste?
- Reputation hit?
Cost manageable aur recoverable → Type 2
Cost high aur recovery hard → Type 1
Question 3: Chhota test pehle kar sakti hoon?
Type 2 decisions aksar obvious ho jaati hain jab smaller scale pe test karo.
- 1 year ki jagah 1 week try kar sakti hoon?
- ₹50,000 ki jagah ₹5,000 spend kar sakti hoon?
- Fully commit karne se pehle early feedback le sakti hoon?
Agar haan → Probably overthinking ho rahi hai. Move kar.
Final Step: Effort ko type se match karo.
- Type 1 → Ruko, data lo, consult karo, carefully decide karo.
- Type 2 → Jaldi decide karo, test karo, iterate karo.
Last Word
Research ho gayi. Articles padh liye. Sabse baat kar li.
Aur still "information gather" kar rahi hai ek decision pe jo simply test ho sakti hai.
Bezos ne yeh samjha: Agar decision undo ho sakti hai, toh months ka deliberation deserve nahi karti.
Quick test aur adjust karne ki willingness deserve karti hai.
Goal reckless hona nahi.
Goal decision-making effort ko actual risk aur reversibility se match karna hai.
Type 2 decision pe galat hona failure nahi.
Woh data hai.
Jo decisions tujhe rok rahi hain abhi—zyada tar Type 2 hain.
Try kar sakti hai. Dekh kya hota hai. Adjust kar.
Woh risky nahi hai. Learning aise hi kaam karti hai.
Move karne ki preparation band kar.
Move kar.
Phir adjust kar.
Recap
Core Insight:
Har decision equal deliberation deserve nahi karti. Type 2 (reversible) decisions jaldi lo aur test karo; Type 1 (irreversible) decisions pe careful thought do.
Tool:
Type 1 vs Type 2 Filter—pooch: Reversible hai? Worst-case cost kya hai? Chhota test pehle ho sakta hai? Effort ko type se match karo.
Kab Use Karna Hai:
Jab analysis paralysis mein ho. Jab testable decision ko life-death choice ki tarah treat kar rahi ho. Jab bas try karne ki permission chahiye.
Yaad Rakh:
Type 2 decision pe galat hona sirf data hai. Jo decisions badi feel hoti hain, woh actually reversible hain mostly.
