  1. I wear literally the same thing every day -- clean copies, of course -- reduces need to have clothes washed, eliminates need to think about what to wear. 10/10 would recommend.

  3. This is fascinating: I'm mostly optimising for minimised cognative load rather than anything financial ... but have largely made similar decisions. The big exception is Amazon: Prime membership is well worthwhile because I can just order things now and forget about them rather than tasking someone with buying them or doing it myself. It turns so many 'Defer' and 'Delegate' cases into 'Do' ones that, then, are effectively resolved immediately.

  4. I do roughly the same for my company: Everyone from the janitor to researchers to leadership is empowered to order whatever will help them do their work (with varying dollar thresholds) no questions asked because it saves so much in co-ordination costs and helps people to make more-impactful choices that yield results sooner. We only ever had one problematic case ... and that person was a problem for numerous other reasons, as well.

  5. Don't quite understand the 'I don't pay for X on principle' thing ... The paying isn't what matters, it's the net ROI that does.
