How to Reduce Stress By Bezos

Jeff Bezos believes stress is caused by inaction on things within your control, not by hard work. His action-oriented approach to preventing stress is based on the idea that addressing an issue—even partially—reduces anxiety by giving you a sense of agency.
The Bezos framework for action and stress prevention
1. Identify the warning flag
Bezos views stress as a "warning flag" that something you can control is being ignored. Instead of dismissing the feeling of anxiety, use it as a signal to investigate what unresolved issue is bothering you.
2. Take the first small step
Once the problem is identified, take the very first step toward addressing it. For Bezos, this could be making an initial phone call or sending an email. This immediate, proactive movement transforms the situation from a source of dread into an active problem-solving process, even if the issue is not yet fully resolved.
3. Apply the "Regret Minimization Framework"
To make difficult decisions that cause stress, Bezos uses a long-term perspective called the "Regret Minimization Framework".
  • Project forward: Imagine yourself at age 80, looking back on your life.
  • Minimize regrets: Ask yourself whether you would regret not taking a particular action or pursuing an opportunity. Bezos concluded that he would be haunted by the regret of never trying to start Amazon, even if it failed.
  • Focus on the long term: This forward-looking approach helps you move past short-term anxieties and make decisions based on long-term fulfillment.
4. Make decisions with a "bias for action"
Bezos categorizes decisions into "two-way doors" and "one-way doors".
  • Two-way doors: These are reversible decisions, where you can walk back through the door if the choice doesn't work out.
    • Action plan: Make these decisions quickly, even with only about 70% of the information you'd ideally have.
  • One-way doors: These are irreversible decisions that require a slower, more methodical approach.
    • Action plan: Take your time and gather as much information as possible before committing.
5. Embrace a "Day 1" mindset
This principle involves approaching every day with the same hunger, curiosity, and energy as if it were the company's first day. This proactive mentality prevents complacency and keeps you focused on action and innovation rather than resting on past accomplishments.

Vice versa true as well. people lie and stress themselves out about things they know they arent going to do. Setting alarm for 6 am to go to the gym. Which leaves them stressed and its something they did to themselves. They walk up 6 am hit snooze then sleep in and mess up rest of day schedule. Either do it or don't and be intentional and dont create stress for yourself.

Thanks Chatgpt. I love taking advice from billionaires cause they do relate to the struggles of the common man
yes we should take advice from successful people like the Bezos and Warren Buffets and emulate best you can.Maybe failed folks can provide advice on what not to do

Billinaires are social leeches, disgusting shitstains, an ugly beacon of everything wrong with humanity, greed, apathy, systemic oppression, they represent all of it. It's immoral to be a billionaire. And idolising them means you're a bootlicker.

They are ghouls and I would much rather seek advice from a homeless man and have genuine human interaction
