Keep the Rule Ready to Hand

Good intentions are useful.

But they become much more powerful when you have a simple rule ready before the difficult moment arrives.

Keep the Rule Ready to Hand explores why the principles you want to live by should be easy to remember when you're tired, emotional, distracted, or under pressure.

You don't want to invent your values in the middle of a crisis.

Decide beforehand.

What will you do when someone speaks to you disrespectfully?

What will you do when you want to quit?

What will you do when you're tempted to spend money you don't have?

What will you do when anger makes you want to send the message?

What will you do when an opportunity conflicts with something you already committed to?

A simple rule can remove some of the negotiation.

Maybe it's:

Don't make important decisions while angry.

If it's not a clear yes, give it time.

Never sacrifice tomorrow's stability for today's impulse.

Keep promises to yourself small enough to keep.

The exact rule matters less than having one you actually trust.

When pressure arrives, you shouldn't have to construct your entire philosophy from scratch.

You can reach for the principle you've already chosen.

Rules aren't meant to eliminate judgment.

They're meant to give judgment something solid to stand on.

Keep the rule where you can find it.

Write it down.

Put it somewhere visible.

Repeat it until it becomes familiar.

Then, when the moment comes, you won't have to wonder who you want to be.

You'll already have an answer.

Keep the Rule Ready to Hand.
