The #1 rule i've tried to apply this year is to stop if I see something new being talked about 3 times by people i respect I've been guilty of seeing new things and not paying attention quickly enough too many times in the past Now, I make it a priority to take a note, and doing a preliminary deep dive into that new thing First it was Blast, then Virtuals, HL, Abstract, etc Learning to notice the signals and do the research early is probably the most +EV thing you can do right now
