**Mental Heuristics**


Mental Heuristics

A heuristic is a "rule-of-thumb", advice.....

**If you want something done, do it yourself**

 Obviously true, and doing it is usually very good for your self esteem. A surprising amount of work can be done this way.

**Never procrastinate anything you can do right now**

 There are many things that can be fixed or solved with a minimum of effort, but are often pushed aside as unimportant.

**When you have several things you could be doing and don't know which to do: Just do any one of them**

 If you cannot decide between two or more possibilities, then there is a good chance that the differences don't matter.

**Always assume that you will succeed**

 If you don't expect to succeed in an endeavor, then you will not do your best and will not notice possible solutions, while if you feel that you will eventually succeed you will concentrate all your energies in right direction.

**If you can't find a solution, change the rules.**

 Remember that there are no no-win scenarios.

 **If u can't do anything, there is no point in worrying about it.**

 Worrying is stressful, and in most situations doesn't accomplish anything - it just wastes energy. Instead of worrying about things, either do something about them or find ways around the problem.

**Do not rely Completely on conscious decisions - Just Do It**

 The conscious mind is surprisingly slow, if u want instant result, jsssst do it.


**Don't try to explain your actions for yourself**

  we often do things we do not want to explain our real motivations before other people. What the need?


**Listen to your intuition, but do not believe it unconditionally**

 Intuitive or emotional thinking, analogies, "gut feelings" can sometimes give  new insights or show problems from a new direction, but we should not rely on them completely.
