  1. Fear, FOMO and other people's returnsA friend’s gain and your own payment deadline change different things. Examine the reason behind a proposed transaction.

    Once you can name the pressure, identify which facts actually need checking.

  2. Decisions in falling and rising marketsFollow changed facts to funding, suitability or exposure checks, while giving account security prompt attention.

    Carry the named fact and next check into a written attention rule: timing and completion depend on the problem.

  3. How often your portfolio needs your attentionWrite an attention rule that puts security, funding and routine checks at the right time and states when each task ends.

With a reason and a time for reviewing, turn to the practical work: measuring drift, assessing results and updating the plan when facts warrant it.
