A Scientific Approach to Achieving Your Goals
Design Your World Like an Architect Would a House
The architecture of a house dictates the structure or rather, creates the design for said structure. Once the architectural designs are drawn up and agreed there is little going back and you’re fairly sure you know what your house is going to look like.
If we ever had the pleasure of designing our own house, we would construct a design that represented ourselves. The design would reflect our personal quirks, ambivalent nature, for all intents and purposes it would be the home of ‘us’.
Apparently, according to the brilliant book ‘Nudge’, the world has had architects working on it for a fair while.
Decisions, Decisions, Decisions
There are a lot of decisions to make in this life.
Small decisions: what to eat, when to get a coffee, whether it is indeed a coffee you want or whether a glass of water would suffice. Whether this top goes with these trousers, if your hair should go in a bun or looks better resting on your shoulders. The big decisions: if you want to move houses or not, marry this person, move jobs.
Either way, we cut it, our life is spent making decisions.
