I liked the article. Here's my humble summary of the main 2 points
1. Don't always make decisions in 0 minutes (instantly). Instead, think about them for 1 minute. The time difference is small but the results may not be.
2. Don't always default to the easiest solution.
Point 2 reminds me a lot of a really great presentation I watched recently by Rich Hickey (the creator of the Clojure programming language) which highlighted that easy solutions are not always the simplest solutions; however it is the latter that we should strive for and not the former. The presentation is really good and contains some insightful thoughts about design and decision making - www.infoq.com/presentations/Simple-Made-Easy
