We all know what a conversation between two people sounds like. “Hey, can you help me a sec?”. “Sure. What’s up?”. “I just can’t make sense of this dashboard.”. Human conversation is a sequence of verbal exchanges – what linguists call turn-taking.

Many decisions that we make in life are subjective, without a “right answer.” We weigh the benefits and drawbacks and make the best choice we can based on the information we have. Giving your brain some time to sort through the data points available can increase the chances of making the best choice possible. However, when you don’t provide it with time, sometimes we emphasize the wrong information, which results in less than optimal decisions.

THIS is the Big Reason You Make Mistakes. We make a lot of subjective decisions. Without the guide of “right” and “wrong” to direct us, we weigh the pros and cons and do the best we can. However, our brains can thwart our best efforts for an optimal outcome by focusing on the wrong things. Focalism is a concept that describes how our minds can overemphasize specific points of information over others, and often the wrong ones.
