Generate a Set of Personal Rules for Better Decision Making

Generic decision-making frameworks are forgettable precisely because they are generic. The rules that actually change behaviour are the ones matched to your specific failure modes: the situations where you reliably decide badly, under what conditions, and why. This generates eight rules built around your patterns rather than best practice in the abstract.

Generate [8] personal rules for better decision making, written for someone who wants practical heuristics that work under uncertainty, time pressure, and incomplete information, not abstract principles.

Each rule should:
- Be stated as a short, memorable rule (not longer than one sentence)
- Explain in two to three sentences what the rule guards against and why it works
- Note one situation where the rule applies particularly well

Base the rules on the person"s described patterns and the types of decisions they make. Make them specific enough to be usable, not generic enough to be forgettable.

[Describe the types of decisions you frequently make badly or find difficult, and any patterns you have noticed in how your decision making fails]
