Friday Philosophies: Hard-Easy Effect
Join Michelle Pellizzon and her guest, Taylor Morrison as they dive deep into the psychological concept of the "hard-easy effect" and its profound impact on personal and business growth journeys. They uncover how individuals often underestimate challenges, overcomplicate solutions, and stress the importance of taking action despite uncertainty. Tune in for insightful strategies and heartfelt anecdotes on navigating life's obstacles with resilience and determination.KEY TAKEAWAYS: The "hard-easy effect" occurs when we misjudge the difficulty of a problem or overestimate how easily we can solve it. Even successful individuals can still fall into the trap of overestimating their abilities in new areas due to the Dunning-Kruger effect. Taking action and being receptive to learning is more important than trying to plan every detail of a project or goal. Engaging in stimulating activities outside of work can serve as a means to avoid overcomplicating ongoing projects due to boredom. Project planning at the beginning aids in identifying uncertainties and managing expectations for how complex a task may be.📚 Resources and Links: Hear all of this and more every Friday morning by subscribing here Sign up here for your weekly wink from the Universe and receive curated links to tickle your brain and coax out your intuition! 📩 Connect with host Michelle Pellizzon-Lipsitz and team Holisticism Subscribe and support the podcast on Spotify here.
