Plan Second-Order, Third-Order consequences #mentalmodel #cognitivescience

Sun, 04 Jul 2021 03:15:00 +0000

I have realized that almost all of my troubles are because I didn't plan the second-order, third-order consequences of my life's decisions. By choosing the first available option, I have often ended up creating more problems for myself and others around me.

Smart people avoid this by thinking about the second-order, third-order consequences. But not everyone is a chess Grandmaster.

I feel wanting to improve the decision making is the first step and if aided by tools to plan consequences of our options then many can avoid costly mistakes in life.

Every single day we make several decisions with varying level of consequences. I would like help to make faster, thorough decisions which has better probability towards favorable outcomes.

Although technology influences several of our decisions, I wonder whether technology is at a stage where I can ask a digital assistant to make a decision for 'What dress should I where today' to 'Which insurance policy should I buy' considering all requisite personal data to make a decision regarding these i.e. Calendar, Health, Finance etc. are already with the Big Data companies; Only difference being the decision should be in my favor instead of an advertiser.

Focus drift #cognitivescience #neuroscience

In my earlier need gap, I posted Getting things done at individual level for which I received amazing responses. But, seeing that all of them are trying to do the same thing i.e. scheduling/time-managing the activities yet none of them seem to solve my problem directly, I started to realise there must be some greater underlying problem.

In my case, I think that is focus drift. I think, focus or attention drift is the primary reason for productivity loss for the most. So, time-management apps wouldn't do much if the particular tasks aren't completed within scheduled period due to loss of focus.

There is a need gap for a consumer friendly solution which can notice focus drift and alert the user to gain their attention back to the task they were doing.
