I bookmarked a NWT article back in February that I just got around to reading. You know, I really should’ve been one of the students in this test. I’m all too often paralyzed by the paradox of choice — an inability to eliminate options for fear that I’ll “miss out” on something. Tierney: “They should have ignored those disappearing doors, but the students couldn’t. They wasted so many clicks rushing back to reopen doors that their earnings dropped 15 percent. Even when the penalties for switching grew stiffer — besides losing a click, the players had to pay a cash fee — the students kept losing money by frantically keeping all their doors open.” I’m not sure which of the five simple rules this falls under, but I’d say it’s somewhere between #2 (free your mind from worries) and #3 (live simply).
