Ask HN: What mental models do you use everyday?

I use this mental model called 'Play to your strengths'. It's more a saying than a model, but a model nonetheless. Anyways it has helped me build great things, since I can only ever build on strength. I fix my weaknesses where I can, but I don't pay my weaknesses too much attention.

There's this whole cult about 'fixing' yourself, and seminars galore by 'successful people' who want you to mimic their behaviors so you can be 'successful' too, so I avoid this groupthink.

What other little sayings do you repeat to yourself or what other mental models do you employ daily?
