Pale Blue Dot by Carl Sagan pale blue dotEscalation of commitment To have a sense of foolish consistency in a behavior that has no benefits. Yet, we find it hard to quit because we feel we’ve already committed and we must stay consistent at all cost.Also known as The sunk cost fallacy (or Concorde fallacy)We must learn to free time to gain clarity.We feel guilty about saying no to something we don’t want to do, because we don’t want to hurt the feelings of whoever invited us to do it.We find it easier to tell someone. I can’t do your thing, because I already committed to something else. Instead of. No I don’t want to do that because I’d rather have free time instead.Selfishness Taking control of your own time and saying no to things without guilt is not selfishness.
