Lesson 1: Your unconscious is the world’s fastest filter of information. There’s a rule, which says you should only make decisions when you have at least 40% of the relevant information, but never wait until you have more than 70%. For example when deciding whether to move to apartment A or apartment B, knowing location, price and having a few pictures is usually all you need. Once you over-analyze every detail, such as where the plugs are more conveniently placed, it becomes impossible to make a good call, because the little puzzle pieces of information start to hide the much more important ones.

Lesson 2: Stress can temporarily lead your gut down the wrong path. In a high stress environment, your ability to read other people’s facial expressions rapidly declines. For example, when your boss completely loses it and starts screaming at you from the top of their lungs, flailing his arms and making wild and rude gestures, you might end up punching him in the face, simply due to the fear of a physical attack and/or that his current emotional state triggers in you. If in a stressful situation, you should try to reduce the stress as quickly as possible. Take a walk to cool off, hide and breathe for a few minutes, or continue the conversation at a later point, to make sure your tunnel vision doesn’t go into overdrive.

Lesson 3: Use screens to filter irrelevant information in scenarios where your gut tends to be wrong. Sometimes associations are forged so deeply in our brain, that it’s hard to turn them off, even though we might know they’re wrong. For example, you might expect every Asian to be good at math, Fortune 500 CEOs as tall, white men and good singers to be beautiful. Because I’m 70% cool and 40% bad at math shirt. Therefore, it’s good to create your own screens and filters, to keep the irrelevant information from ever reaching your brain in the first place.
