Theres a simple solution, though, that Levitin proposes to alleviate this burden of the digital age: Externalize your memory. Yes, in essence, use your smartphone and other tools more, but use them wisely. Outsource the decisions that you dont need to make. To illustrate this, Levitin describes an encounter he had with then-presidential candidate Jimmy Carter back in 1975. Levitin was just a kid, and yet Carter took the time to talk with him at an event. I was struck by how it seemed as though he had all the time in the world, recalls Levitin, and like I was the most important thing in the world at that moment. And Ive had this experience over and over again with other highly successful people; where when youre talking to them you just feel like the entire world has vanished and its just the two of you. #neuroeconomy #Behavioral_economy
