main takeaway for me is to not focus on too many things at a time

we sometimes get too ambitious with resolutions or goal settings, which eventually leads to being overwhelmed or inaction

Peak-end Rule

The peak-end rule is a cognitive bias that describes how people remember an experience or event. We judge an experience according to how it felt at its peak and at its end, rather than by some perfectly aggregated average of every moment of it.

Psychological moonshot - a relatively small investment that drastically improves the perception of something.

progress in the next 50 years will largely come from psychology and design thinking.

Goal Gradient Effect

The goal gradient effect is the psychological principle where motivation and effort increase as individuals get closer to achieving a goal, making them work harder and faster as they near the finish line, like a runner speeding up near the end of a race or a user completing a loyalty card.

given a 10% chance of a 100 times payoff, you should take that bet every time. it’s important to be bold.

one thing i find myself worrying about recently is that

i need to somehow abuse AI to escape before society catches on or wakes up to whatever that is happening to the world

in all aspects:
• geopolitical
• AI
• social structures
• etc.

if i could use the classic adoption chart, i'm guessing we're in late early stage

it is incredibly sad because i know that the average countrymen do not care much (for varying reasons) and will not even realise when they are about to be hit

also realising that majority of people are severely underestimating how quickly society can shift and how fast AI can accelerate from here

the societal advancement curve has crossed over into the exponential phase (aka parabolic chart) with self looping LLMs

at the same time, maybe i'm just consuming too much doomerism content (again)

onto lighter thoughts

after digesting multiple marketing books and materials, i've come to realise that in essence its really a matter of

context and perception

probably why i find myself being so fascinated by it

being able to bend human psychology to your advantage must really feel like playing God

marketing might actually be addictive if you're able to do it well

enjoying commuting a lot more in 2026 as well

i find the odd solitude peaceful because it means that i get an undisturbed window of time whereby i get to read my books

in addition, finding myself listening to less music in general too and it feels like i'm getting sick of it? spotify hours are dropping a lot and songs don't stick as long as they used to anymore

has anyone gone through this feeling before as well?
