Establish a closing ritual. Know when to stop working. Try to end each work day the same way, too. Straighten up your desk. Back up your computer. Make a list of what you need to do tomorrow.

More quotes by Daniel Kahneman
If people can construct a simple and coherent story, they will feel confident regardless of how well grounded it is in reality.
Daniel Kahneman
If owning stocks is a long-term project for you, following their changes constantly is a very, very bad idea. It's the worst possible thing you can do, because people are so sensitive to short-term losses. If you count your money every day, you'll be miserable.
Daniel Kahneman
What happens with fear is that probability doesn't matter very much. That is, once I have raised the possibility that something terrible can happen to your child, even though the possibility is remote, you may find it very difficult to think of anything else. Emotion becomes dominant.
Daniel Kahneman
The most effortful forms of slow thinking are those that require you to think fast.
Daniel Kahneman
People who are cognitively busy are also more likely to make selfish choices, use sexist language, and make superficial judgments in social situations.
Daniel Kahneman
We are far too willing to reject the belief that much of what we see in life is random.
Daniel Kahneman

Daniel Kahneman
The easiest way to increase happiness is to control your use of time.
Daniel Kahneman
Each additional day together is a gift. The end of the day means the end of hostilities, the recognition that the underlying shared values and commitment to the relationship trump the need for one last dig or self-righteous justification.
Daniel Kahneman
Laziness is built deep into our nature.
Daniel Kahneman
There's a tendency to look at investments in isolation. Investors focus on the risk of individual securities.
Daniel Kahneman
Alternative descriptions of the same reality evoke different emotions and different associations.
Daniel Kahneman
It's nonsense to say money doesn't buy happiness, but people exaggerate the extent to which more money can buy more happiness.
Daniel Kahneman
If individuals are rational, there is no need to protect them against their own choices.
Daniel Kahneman
Overconfidence is a powerful source of illusions, primarily determined by the quality and coherence of the story that you can construct, not by its validity.
Daniel Kahneman
People are really happier with friends than they are with their families or their spouse or their child.
Daniel Kahneman
Optimistic people play a disproportionate role in shaping our lives. Their decisions make a difference they are inventors, entrepreneurs, political and military leaders - not average people. They got to where they are by seeking challenges and taking risks.
Daniel Kahneman
We are very influenced by completely automatic things that we have no control over, and we don't know we're doing it.
Daniel Kahneman
Groups tend to be more extreme than individuals.
Daniel Kahneman
Adaptation seems to be, to a substantial extent, a process of reallocating your attention.
