Our "collaboration cleanse" asked 58 @asana @amazon folks to assess and subtract "digital tools." Mixed results! Most subtracted, but many felt despair after realizing that others forced them to use tools they were powerless to subtract #frictionproject

In this episode of How to Build a Happy Life, @arthurbrooks and @rebecca_rashid explore why taking things away may be key to life satisfaction. A conversation with @Leidyklotz helps us understand the science of subtraction.

Like @LaszloBock’s rule @google:If more than 4 interviews were to be done with a candidate, he had to approve the exception. #frictionproject @huggyrao

Fun fact: It’s National Limerick Day. I wouldn’t have know this either until I saw this neat limerick written about our new work on false accusations—how people think anger is indicative of guilt (when if anything it’s indicative of innocence) @katydec @GabeAdams
Jeanine was accused and got mad,
But that only made her look bad.
She tried to insist,
But she was dismissed,
Though a hunch was all that they had.

Why are we always looking to add? A refreshing and thought-provoking perspective. washingtonpost.com/outlook/2…
Gabrielle Adams, PhD retweeted
New research finds that when we come up with ways to improve on something, whether it’s a device or an idea, we tend to focus on what we can add, not on what we can subtract.
And so “people systematically overlook opportunities to change things through subtraction.”
Gabrielle Adams, PhD retweeted
Do you notice that making changes mostly involve adding something, even if taking away something would be simpler and more cost effective? My colleagues @NaturePodcast made a great video of our recent paper showing people overlook subtractive changes:

Studies of people seeking to improve objects, ideas or situations demonstrate that people default to searching for solutions that add new components rather than for solutions that remove existing components, according to a Nature paper. go.nature.com/3wueZqm

It’s worth learning from how the @Forbes “innovative leader” list ended up with only 1 woman on it, because that is how gender bias happens.
The list was derived using “objective,” quantified criteria. The aim was scientific. But, those criteria are highly subject to bias.
