HEURISTIC (noun/adjective)
A practical method or mental shortcut used to solve problems and make decisions without analyzing every possible option.

Some problems require spreadsheets, research, and several meetings nobody wanted to attend. Others require looking at what worked before and thinking, “Yeah, let’s try that.”

That’s a heuristic.

Heuristics are the practical rules of thumb and mental shortcuts our brains use to solve problems and make decisions without examining every possible alternative. They’re fast, efficient, occasionally imperfect, and one of the reasons you can make it through an ordinary day without conducting a comprehensive analysis every time you need to choose something.
