Planning Fallacy: Public Policy, Sydney Opera House, Big Dig (Boston, Massachusetts), Senior Thesis, Impression Management, Kahneman

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The planning fallacy is the tendency to underestimate task-completion times. Real-life examples in public policy may include the construction of the Sydney Opera House and the Big Dig, both of which ran many years past their planned schedule. In a 1994 study, 37 psychology students were asked to estimate how long it would take to finish their senior theses. The average estimate was 33.9 days. They also estimated how long it would take "if everything went as well as it possibly could" (averaging 27.4 days) and "if everything went as poorly as it possibly could" (averaging 48.6 days). The average actual completion time was 55.5 days, with only about 30% of the students completing their thesis in the amount of time they predicted. One explanation, focalism, may account for the mental discounting of off-project risks. People formulating the plan may eliminate factors they perceive to lie outside the specifics of the project. Additionally, they may discount multiple improbable high-impact risks because each one is so unlikely to happen.

If You're Going to Live in the Country: Achieving Your Rural American Dream

Written in a chatty, reader-friendly style, IF YOU'RE GOING TO LIVE IN THE COUNTRY employs stories from the author's own relocation to the country to illustrate practical information anyone who shares his dream of escaping the physical, mental and spiritual confinement of big city life can apply toward successfully following in his footsteps. With chapters on the "Do's & Don'ts" of selecting country property, financing the purchase, building VS remodeling, working with architects, builders and contractors, inspecting an old house, moving an old home to a new site, fireplace construction and maintenance, digging wells, sewage and septic systems, the well-equipped country kitchen, pets and livestock, preparing for winter, fire safety, what to do when things go wrong, and finding a pleasurable balance with the natural world, IF YOU'RE GOING TO LIVE IN THE COUNTRY is a must-read for every urbanite who craves the greater peace and lessened pace of bucolic country living.
