Why do you add things to your life when you want to make it be better?

Most people do this. But there is a better way.

A study found that when trying to fix something, people added rather than removed things.

When asked to :

• fix a travel itinerary, only 28% removed something
• improve an essay, word counts shrank in only 17% of edits
• make a pattern out of squares just 20% removed squares to create a pattern
• improve a university, only 11% wanted to drop something

You do the same:

• improve a relationship? You add a date night to the calendar
• feeling lonely? Take up a new hobby
• want to improve your career? Get an extra qualification
• concerned by your health? Join a gym

By adding more you create problems for yourself.
