EP 05 The 2-Oreo Principle with Dan Nicholson

Have you ever looked back at your bank statement and realized that you’re still paying for the $20/month software subscription you don’t use anymore and forgot about completely? Unfortunately, seemingly small amounts of waste like this can compound over time to make a larger impact – much like a couple of Oreos a day. 

On this episode of the Rigging the Game podcast, Dan dives deeper into the 2-Oreo principle and discusses how to purposefully organize and optimize your time and energy, what it takes to correct the aftereffects of waste, and a few relevant examples that you might have experienced yourself.  

What You’ll Learn 


  • How to shift the scope of your perspective with useful data
  • Which aspects of your life might be hiding a few extra Oreos
  • How to put this principle in action to cut down on wasted time and resources
  • And much more!

Favorite Quote


“Let’s be intentional about it, let’s opt in to where we want to spend our money and spend our time…We can actually make a conscious choice to identify those Oreos.”


- Dan Nicholson
