Brian Christian Quotes

If you want the best odds of getting the best apartment, spend 37% of your apartment hunt eleven days, if you’ve given yourself a month for the search noncommittally exploring options. Leave the checkbook at home; you’re just calibrating. But after that point, be prepared to immediately commit—deposit and all—to the very first place you see that beats whatever you’ve already seen. This is not merely an intuitively satisfying compromise between looking and leaping. It is the provably optimal solution.
