Why I Don't Clean Up My Room Every Time My Parent Tells Me to Clean Up the Room

tim harford: Since writing the book, i have stopped asking my children to clear up their room. I read an amazing study that had been conducted by two british psychologists. They got people to sit down and work in ar artificial office environments. The second approach a there were more decorations in the office. There were pot plants, there were posters, some distractions,. But it felt friendlier. People liked that more.
