This assignment allowed me to reflect on my own decision-making tendencies and how some traps like anchoring and status quo bias) had impacted my choices. I learned that I frequently speed through decisions because I know how much I like to act sooner than later, which can be useful, but can also mean that I miss out on other ideas/solutions. I also learned how often I remain in my comfort zone because it is familiar, whether that is ordering the same meal or going with the first idea I hear. Reflecting on the traps made me much more aware of the times I need to slow down, gather information, and then challenge myself to be more open-minded. I also deconstructed examples of other peoples behaviors of falling into traps; one of my friends made a life-long decision based on biased framing from loved ones, and my dad concluded his entire coaching ability with one loss. These examples helped me reflect on and realize how often we can fall into flawed paths of thinking and how imperative it is that we make decisions with an ethical, informed, and larger basis of reasoning in mind.
