Psychology

Uncompleted tasks stick in your mind longer than completed ones. That's why your brain keeps reminding you of open loops. Write them down to release the mental burden.

🧠 Psychology Insights
Psychology
Negativity Bias
Your brain is wired to pay more attention to negative events than positive ones. It takes about 5 positive interactions to balance 1 negative one. This isn't a flaw — it's evolution.
Psychology
Cognitive Load
Your working memory can hold about 4 items at once. When you exceed this, decision quality drops. Simplify choices and externalize information to think clearly.
⚡ Habits Science
Habits
The 2-Minute Rule
When starting a new habit, scale it down to 2 minutes or less. Want to read more? Start with one page. Want to exercise? Start with one pushup. The goal is to show up, not to perform.
Habits
Habit Stacking
Link a new habit to an existing one: "After I [current habit], I will [new habit]." Your brain already has strong neural pathways for existing habits. Piggyback on them.
Habits
Environment Design
Make good habits obvious and bad habits invisible. Put the fruit bowl on the counter, not in the fridge. Remove apps from your home screen. Design your space for success.

The Latte Factor
Small daily expenses compound significantly over time. ₹200/day = ₹73,000/year. Not saying don't enjoy coffee — just be aware of where small amounts go.
Finance
Pay Yourself First
Automatically save before you spend, not after. Treat savings like a bill that must be paid. What's left is what you can spend guilt-free.
Finance
Emotional Spending
Notice when you spend money to feel better. Stressed? Sad? Bored? Understanding the emotional trigger helps break the pattern. Ask: "What am I really trying to buy?"

Philosophy
The Dichotomy of Control
Epictetus taught: Some things are within your control, some are not. Focus energy only on what you can influence. Everything else is just noise.
Philosophy
Memento Mori
"Remember you will die." Not morbid — clarifying. Awareness of mortality helps prioritize what truly matters. The Stoics meditated on this daily.
Philosophy
Amor Fati
"Love your fate." Don't just accept what happens — embrace it. Every obstacle is an opportunity. This isn't toxic positivity; it's radical acceptance.
