I live by the quadratic formula.

Also, what does “living by this formula” even mean? It’s just a basic description saying “people want to do things they like, and if they get distracted or it’s far off they’re less likely to do them”

No what I’m saying is, this formula by itself doesn’t allow you to change anything. All of the values on the right are constants. Going “oh, I have low motivation because this thing is next year and I hate it” isn’t some big revelation.

The key is to find a way to overcome low motivation, which is not something your formula does.

Robots live by formulas. Humans have qualitative capabilities which are just as much useful if not more.

What scale is value on

I like that impulsivity is included. Spot on.

Hello All - I struggle with time management. I take medication but I have no idea whether a task will take 40 mins or 4 hours. Because of this, I over commit and under deliver. Also, having been on the receiving end of criticism, over time I have developed a perfectionist streak. I won't turn it in if it is good enough. How do you break out of this habit?

Any resources to help the brain structure tasks and make better estimates? Much appreciated, thanks!

Does mba help in pivoting to consulting? I want to learn more about business + do strategy work and I’m not sure if I’m getting that in tech. Undergrad major was econ and was very theoretical (didn’t learn anything about business). Have done interviews with all MBBs in the past but either didn’t pass assessment stage or didn’t make it pass the case interviews. Feedback was that I need to improve business judgement for case interviews.
