An Appeal to Our Inner Judge

In "Blink," Malcolm Gladwell wrote about how we think without thinking, about choices that seem to be made in an instant - in the blink of an eye - that actually aren’t as simple as they seem.

Are these choices always correct? Nope. Even Gladwell indicates they aren't 100% accurate. So what can we do about it?

This week, a look at appealing to our inner judgement about that blink of an eye.

TTFN, Fred.

Looking for a Breakthrough? Study Says to Make Time for Tedium

Daily life is full of tedium and minutiae. We need to go to work and pay our bills and write to-do lists and tie our shoelaces and buy groceries. We need to spend time in the tedium of everyday life.

The danger of accepting our need for routine and familiarity is that we can become too comfortable. Getting outside of our comfort zones can help us learn, lead us to personal growth and improve our memories. And the more risks, novelty, and uncomfortable experiences we expose ourselves to the more our comfort zone grows.

This week, a look at making time for the tedium to help innovation break through.

TTFN, Fred.
