The 10-10-10 Rule for Emotional Decisions

Before making a decision driven by strong emotion, ask three questions: How will I feel about this in 10 minutes? In 10 months? In 10 years? The angry email matters in 10 minutes. The career change matters in 10 years. Most emotionally driven decisions optimize entirely for the 10-minute window and ignore everything else. Zooming out doesn't mean suppressing the emotion. It means not letting the loudest moment make the longest-lasting choice.
The point
Before acting on emotion, ask how you'll feel about it in 10 minutes, 10 months, and 10 years — most urgent feelings only optimize for the first.
