Mottoes
One of my favorite mottoes is, “If I can’t see it, it doesn’t exist.”
My wife’s favorite motto is, “I cannot stand clutter!”
Can you see where this is heading?
Of course I have other mottoes, “Do it now, do it right, do the hard part first.”
But if I can’t see it, I’m likely not to do it at all.
Willpower?
Halloween has come and went.
Are you aware that there are some people who can eat just a little bit of candy?
Amazing!

Context
We learn in context.
I put my password into the computer at least three times a day without even thinking. When we went to the weekend resort, I couldn’t remember it.
It’s called state dependent learning.

I’ve written on willpower a lot. Maybe it’s an important issue?

State dependent learning – interesting.
The light on my car’s shifter went out a while back. When I use the shifter during the day, I never even look at it. But at night, now that the light is out, I want to look but I can’t see and I always put it in neutral. Guess state dependent learning is why. Good to know.

Homey – interesting. Need example. You could shift at night without even using the light until you knew that the light was out, then you desperately needed it. Right?
Thanks for your interesting comments.
