When it comes to the kinds of thinking traps we're all vulnerable to, the 'availability bias' is one of cognitive psychology's most powerful. It shapes our everyday decisions and can make us easy to manipulate. Knowing about it is half the battle. #psychology #criticalthinking #cognitivebias

Students, try this:

1. Something you should know
2. Here’s what I mean
3. Information supporting my point
4. Take-home message

As your writing improves, you’ll find all sorts of rules to break. In the meantime, you can’t go too wrong writing SHIT paragraphs.

Random thought on work-life balance: If struggling *not* to say yes to every request or opportunity that comes your way, stop to consider the no’s under your nose. Every “yes” is a potential hidden “no” to something else, whether time with family or a good book in the sun.
