Acquiescence.

Watching James Holzhauer dominate Jeopardy, is a reminder that the constraints and rules we often accept without question could be all in our heads.

Before James, nobody chose the higher-value questions on the board before the lower ones.  Maybe earlier contestants were being polite, or maybe they just never considered that there might’ve been another way.

I hear from people all the time:

“I could never… :

…contact that person for career advice.”

…do this thing that might not work.”

take the initiative without asking my boss.”

What outdated rules should you be questioning?
