An [[Antifragile, Nassim Nicholas Taleb|Antifragile]] concept: to solve a problem, rather than thinking what to add, think about what you can remove. * In nutrition, rather than adding supplements and athletic greens, remove processed foods. * In product management, rather than trying to fix that broken feature, consider removing it. * In sleep hygiene, rather than taking melatonin, stop bedtime scrolling. * In finances, rather than looking for extra income, remove some expenses. * In writing, rather than fixing that weird sentence, see if the sentence holds without it.
