If you can, provide evidence and/​or a plausible argument that your boring advice actually is useful, but I would prefer that you err on the side of boring but not necessarily useful in the name of more thoroughly searching a plausibly under-searched part of advicespace. I would like people to use this thread to post other examples of boring advice. Other examples include “google things” and “exercise.” But “make checklists” is not a deep or punchy thing to say. Let’s call this boring advice.Īn example that’s been discussed on LW several times is “make checklists.” Checklists are great. advice that sounds deep or punchy might be more likely to be listened to-but as a corollary, there could be valuable advice that people generally don’t give because it doesn’t sound deep or punchy. There may be good reasons to do this-e.g. It seems plausible that, when giving advice, many people optimize for deepness or punchiness of the advice rather than for actual practical value. This is an extension of a comment I made that I can’t find and also a request for examples.
