Are You Busy or Lazy?

Are You Busy or Lazy?

bias by Rick0 comments

That’s the question I was asking myself the other day. Given a culture where most famous thought leaders espouse waking up prior to the sun and working out, meditating, and doing daily pages prior to 7am, it makes sense as a night owl who regularly finds a groove between 11pm […]

Spinach in My Teeth

bias by Rick0 comments

Without a mirror, it’s impossible to see ourselves. (Okay, yes, we have cameras, and modern technology, but work with me here for a minute).  Whether or not you have breakfast in your teeth, if your hair got messed up after your nap, or if it’s apparent that you literally rolled […]

The Privilege of Looking Away

bias by Rick0 comments

It’s often somewhat uncomfortable to come to terms with privilege, especially if there are ways that you’re underprivileged.  So you might want to look away from something that makes you feel uncomfortable, like poverty in India, or the Taliban’s takeover of Afghanistan, or the femicide of a young, white woman […]

Limits to the Hiring Process

bias by Rick0 comments

When reviewing candidates for a job position that got an overwhelming amount of applications, I realized how many rad people there are in the world. It makes me a bit sad that there’s only one position for so many amazing individuals, and this process has also helped me realize there […]

Experts

bias by Rick0 comments

There are experts who have spent years studying, researching, and devoting a majority of their lives to a certain subject. We often assume these are formally (ie. university) educated people, and a lot of the time, they are. Virologists, rocket scientists, theoretical physicists, brain surgeons – these are all experts […]

Trusting Yourself

bias by Rick0 comments

No one wants you to trust yourself more than I do. But there’s a difference in trusting in your inherent capabilities, and trusting that you’re right. Trusting in your inherent capabilities means that you can trust yourself to figure things out. To navigate uncertainty and act despite fear. It means […]

Experimental Mindset

bias by Rick0 comments

It definitely feels good to be certain, but if we’re always certain, there’s no room for growth.  Certainty is a nice place to hide, as then you can celebrate being right about things, even if, by objective standards, you might be wrong.  Where in your life might you take a […]

The Perfect Time

bias by Rick0 comments

We always hear about the perfect time. We fear being too early, but also fear about being too late. Whether we’re talking about when to arrive at a social gathering, when to invest in something, when we should launch something new, or whether or not to jump on a new […]

Absolutism

Absolutism

bias by Rick0 comments

While there might be exceptions, in general, the more something leans into absolutism, the more likely it’s going to be incorrect. Assumptions about broad categories of people will often be wrong, especially the larger the category is.  Things that work for some people, especially if it doesn’t acknowledge entire systems […]

Peak-End Rule

bias by Rick0 comments

There is a cognitive bias known as the Peak-End Rule, which states that we have a tendency to qualify past experiences or events by the most emotionally-charged moment and the end of the experience, rather than the overall average of the event. Meaning, if you have a terrible week, but […]
