Know Thy self

  • Are you convinced that much of your everyday thinking happens without your awareness?

  • Are you guilty of the planning fallacy? How will you avoid it next time?
Yes, I am. I always underestimate how much time took to do things. Other than that, I tend to procrastinate. In order to avoid it, I have to make detailed planning and to do lis titems.
