It's a cute model to write or read about, but I strongly encourage people not go do this to themselves -- at least not on this scale.
A life lived lived through such brainy analysis of small things is a recipe for anxiety and depression. For all the millilucks towards this or that you might attribute to your house party, you've already allotted decilucks to your chances of a life mired in your own head and its imaginings.
As much as you can, just trust yourself, talk to people, trust that you can roll with consquences as they come, and save the deep analysis for things of much greater consequences and much lesser frequency.

If I implied this was supposed to be a "deep analysis" sort of thing, that was a failing on my part. The original that I read (and what I mean to convey) was less about building some deep pursuit of perfection, but more putting some thought and weight behind the "you miss 100% of the shots you don't take" aphorism. It's wasn't about analyzing the min maxed path to your romantic partner, or huge masses of muscle. Instead it's about (to couch it in the language of pop-psychology) being mindful about the choices you make with respect to what you actually want. If you also want to be "lucky", well you can't control the starting luck, but you can certainly "make" some of your own luck by engaging in activities that have higher "mililuck" values for those goals. If you imagine that it takes 300 "lucks" to achieve a given goal and you are "unlucky", the question you have to ask yourself is whether you believe that you're unlucky, but at 299 "lucks" so it doesn't really matter what you do, you'll cross that line soon, or if you're unlucky and you have 50 lucks and it's going to take you a long while to get there. Since you can't know, and you can't know how many "mililucks" any given action/event actually gave you, the best thing you can do is make choices that are more likely to put you in a place where you can be lucky.
