Practice mental timetravel to anticipate outcomes from "summary" of Thinking in Bets by Annie Duke

Imagine you are about to make a decision. Before you proceed, take a moment to mentally transport yourself into the future. Picture the possible outcomes of your choice, and consider the various paths that could unfold as a result. By engaging in this exercise, you are essentially practicing mental time travel to anticipate what might happen next. This technique is crucial when it comes to making decisions in an uncertain world. By envisioning different scenarios and their potential consequences, you are better equipped to assess the risks and rewards associated with each option. This forward-thinking approach allows you to prepare for a range of outcomes, enabling you to make more informed and strategic decisions. When you practice mental time travel, you are essentially playing out different future scenarios in your mind. This exercise helps you to consider the various factors that could influence the outcome of your decision, allowing you to weigh the probabilities and make a more reasoned choice. By mentally exploring the potential consequences of your actions, you are better prepared to handle whatever the future may hold.
  1. Practicing mental time travel is a way to simulate the future in your mind, allowing you to anticipate outcomes and make better decisions in the present. By thinking ahead and considering the potential consequences of your choices, you can position yourself more strategically and increase your chances of success. So, the next time you are faced with a decision, take a moment to transport yourself into the future and envision the various paths that lie ahead.
