Welcome to the Resolve Blog. Here, I write about the dynamics of decision-making and thinking, with a focus on learning to make better decisions.
‍
Every day, we make approx. 35,000 decisions. From walking to listening, to assessing our surroundings, we don’t stop making decisions. Our basic goal is to survive and live safely. As a result, we’ve developed a brain capable of thinking and reacting intuitively to different situations.
‍
There is a downside to this intuitive behaviour. Our brain thinks it can use the same ethos of making choices – even when the situation is unknown – or the preferred outcome matters. Intuition allows the creep of cognitive biases, emotion, and external influences to blindside us in our moment of consideration.

The Resolve Blog is here to help you – and me – overcome the downside of our intuitive approach. Articles within the distinct themes of decision-making and thinking drill down to highlight different mental models to help us make better decisions.
