Seven Insights For The New Year

Things you can do for a happier, better life in 2018

When all around you everyone else is doing start-ups, you must focus on shutdowns. First, shut down this obsession with New Year resolutions. There is nothing new about the New Year. This year is older than the previous year, so are you! The old may have dimming eyesight, but they have wisdom’s hindsight. I am sharing here with you seven insights that you can reflect on and implement in your life. With these, I wish you great joy, peace, and warmth in 2018.

Insight 1: Nudge yourself before you budge. Not every manager is as active as Bruce Lee. Some are like Brocco Li. They would vegetate rather than elevate themselves unless an external force, such as money, works on them. However, Richard Thaler who was awarded the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences in 2017 talks about nudge as altering people’s behaviour in a predictable way without changing their economic incentives. You can nudge yourself to take a satisfying decision by limiting the number of choices you have. You may choose to nudge yourself to reduce your wardrobe by half so that you save precious time in choosing what you will wear.
