377. Make Decisions Faster With The 70% Rule 

Ever get stuck in decision-making mode? Jeff Bezos has a rule for that. It’s called the 70% Rule.

Whenever you have 70% of the information you think you need to make a decision, go for it!

In a perfect world, we’d have have 100% of the facts to make a decision, but sadly, we don’t live in a perfect world, and you’ll rarely (if ever) have 100% of the information.

By making decisions with around 70% of the data, you keep things moving forward without getting bogged down by overanalyzing.

378. Ship Smarter With Priority Package Trick 

Got multiple packages to send to the same place? Here’s a sneaky little trick: ship one priority overnight and the rest standard.

Why? Because carriers often consolidate shipments to optimize delivery routes.

So, there’s a good chance all your packages will arrive together with the priority one.

This not only saves you money but also ensures that your standard packages arrive faster than usual.

379. Trace Data Leaks With Your Middle Name

Signing up for something online? Use the website’s name as your middle name.

If you start getting spam, you’ll know exactly who sold your data by checking the first line of those pesky emails.

For example, if you sign up on a site called "TechWorld," use "TechWorld" as your middle name.

If you receive an email addressed to "John TechWorld Doe," you’ll know TechWorld shared your info.
