Notes:

Your life reflect who you are and how you think

Thinking errors from The art of thinking clearly by Rolf Dobelli:

91. Planning fallacy:

‘Imagine it is a year from today. We have followed the plan to the letter. The result is a disaster. Take five or ten minutes to write about this disaster.’- Gary Klein advice

92. Déformation Professionnelle, becomes hazardous when people apply their specialised processes in areas where they don’t belong.

If your only tool is a hammer, all your problems will be nails –Mark Twain

“Locate your shortcomings and find suitable knowledge and methodologies to balance them. It takes about a year to internalise the most important ideas of a new field, and it’s worth it: your pocketknife will be bigger and more versatile, and your thoughts sharper.”

93. Zeigarnik Effect, you retain something until the task is done

94. Illusion of skill:

“certain people make a living from their abilities, such as pilots, plumbers and lawyers. In other areas, skill is necessary but not critical, as with entrepreneurs and leaders. Finally, chance is the deciding factor in a number of fields, such as in financial markets. Here, the illusion of skill pervades.”

95. The feature-positive effect:

“we have problems perceiving non-events. We are blind to what does not exist. We realise if there is a war, but we do not appreciate the absence of war during peacetime. If we are healthy, we rarely think about being sick. Or, if we get off the plane in Cancun, we do not stop to notice that we did not crash. If we thought more frequently about absence, we might well be happier. But it is tough mental work. The greatest philosophical question is why does something and not nothing exist? Don’t expect a quick answer; rather, the question itself represents a useful instrument for combating the feature-positive effect.”
