The Sandia Rule is a social and ethical guideline that blends the principles of the Platinum Rule (treat others as they want to be treated) and the Golden Rule (treat others as you would like to be treated). It prioritizes understanding and respecting others' preferences and desires, but shifts back to the Golden Rule when there's a conflict with one's own needs and boundaries. This rule is named after the Sandia alloy, a durable mix of platinum and gold, symbolizing the blend of empathy for others with self-care.
The term "Sandia Rule" is inspired by the Sandia alloy, a blend of 90% platinum and 10% gold, known for its exceptional durability and resistance to wear. Just as the alloy represents a strong combination of two valuable elements, the Sandia Rule symbolizes a balanced approach to interpersonal relationships, combining empathy and adaptability with personal well-being and self-respect.

When I realized that accommodating my friend's preference for late-night hangouts was affecting my sleep schedule, I decided to follow the Sandia Rule and proposed an earlier time that worked for both of us.
At work, I apply the Sandia Rule: I try to adapt to my colleagues' work styles, but I also make sure to set clear boundaries so my own productivity isn't compromised.

When an action does not take effect during a potential period of time, it is rolled off to the next more optimal window of opportunity. This is not a function of statistical probability, it is simply the way things are and cannot be explained by logic or mathematical analysis; it just happens that way.
That smarty pants tried to explain with a rationale of probability that day shift didn’t receive a call, and that this had zero impact on night shift getting call. You would think he had heard of the Rule of Roelofs. Apparently not.
