1.Your #intuition isn’t as #reliable as you think:

 You might think that intuition is something inner and mystical, but it’s nothing of the sort. It’s simply System 2 checking your memory bank! You can rely on it only if the situation is something you’ve experienced before.

 2.Ask #everything that comes to #mind:

 We want to have the safety net of believing everything that pops into our minds. But, we cannot! System 1 isn’t reliable all the time. Get into the habit of questioning everything to encourage System 2 to activate.

 3.Basic #assessments cannot be #relied upon:

 System 1 may try to keep you safe from harm, but it makes snap judgments that aren’t that reliable. System 2 will start to look for logical answers in your prior experience when you deeply question things. 

 4.The “#Halo Effect” is a discriminatory #bias:

 The Halo Effect means that if you like a person, you’ll probably like everything about them. This is just cognitive bias. Learn more before deciding your view of people and the world.

 5.Slow down; not #everything in #life is a #threat:

 System 1’s job is to make you aware of potential threats. But, it thinks everything is a threat! So, learn to see things as possible opportunities and use your logical second system to work out the best option for you. 

6. System 2 inhibits the #impulsivity of System 1:

 System 1 is more likely to jump to conclusions and cause you to act impulsively. It does so to protect you.  By slowing things down and questioning your thoughts, you can avoid damaging impulsive actions.

 7.Beware of #emotional #framing in #decision-making

 System 1 makes its judgments based on emotion, while System 2 focuses on logic. Emotional framing is a side effect of System 1, but slowing your thoughts down will help you avoid adverse effects in decision-making.

 8.Be #open to the #thoughts of other #people:

 System 1 has a habit of causing us to make snap judgments. Learn to question your decisions and be open to the ideas and opinions of those around you.
