2022-05-06 23:09:01 We almost always underestimate how long it will take to finish a task

Students finish on average, 3 weeks later, that their “most realistic” estimate, and one week later than their “worst case-scenario”.

This overly optimistic mode of planning is called as planning fallacy by psychologists. Open / Comment

2022-05-02 13:48:11 A сall for self-awareness

If you aren't aware of what you're actually doing, then it is very hard to change your life with any degree of consistency. Trying to build better habits without self-awareness is like firing arrows into the night. You can't expect to hit the bullseye if you're not sure where the target is located.

Furthermore, I have discovered very few people who naturally do the right thing without ever measuring their behavior. For example, I know a handful of people who maintain six-pack abs without worrying too much about what they eat. However, every single one of them weighed and measured their food at some point. After months of counting calories and measuring their meals, they developed the ability to judge their meals appropriately.

In other words, measurement brought their levels of self-awareness in line with reality. You can wing it after you measure it. Once you're aware of what's actually going on, you can make accurate decisions based on “gut-feel” because your gut is based on Open / Comment

2022-04-30 19:23:53 We loosen our morals when an authority tells us to

It's one of the oldest psychology facts in the books: In the 1960s, Yale psychologist Stanley Milgram infamously conducted an experiment that he thought would prove Americans wouldn't accept immoral orders like the Nazis had.

For a "learning task," volunteers were told to deliver shocks to a "learner" (an actor, little known to the real volunteers) if they got an answer wrong.

To Milgram's horror, the participants continued delivering shocks, even when the learner screamed in pain. Open / Comment

2022-04-27 23:08:00 You make most of your decisions unconsciously

The research on decision-making, especially the recent research, shows that although you want to think that your decision-making is a conscious, deliberate process, it’s not. Most decisions are made through unconscious mental processing.

Unconscious decision-making includes factors such as:
What are most other people buying (social validation): “I see that a particular TV got high ratings and reviews at the website”
What will make me stay consistent in my persona (commitment): “I’m the kind of person that always has the latest thing, the newest technology.”
Do I have any obligations or social debts that I can pay off with this purchase (reciprocity): “My brother has had me over to his house all year to watch the games, I think it’s time we had them over to our place to watch”

and on and on. Open / Comment
