🔎 *6 facts: Memory & Learning*
1. *We remember the beginning and end of a list best* — The primacy and recency effect means the middle of any sequence is what tends to be forgotten first.
2. *Testing yourself strengthens memory more than re-reading* — Actively recalling information (like with flashcards) creates stronger memory traces than passively reviewing notes.
3. *Emotion tags memories as more important* — Emotionally charged events are generally remembered in more vivid detail than neutral ones.
4. *Multitasking while learning weakens retention* — Splitting attention during encoding measurably reduces how well new information sticks.
5. *Context can help or hurt recall* — Being in a similar environment (or even mood) to when you learned something can make it easier to remember.
6. *Spaced repetition beats cramming* — Spreading study sessions out over time produces dramatically better long-term retention than massing them together.

🔎 *8 psychology facts you should know — Cognitive Biases*
1. *Anchoring skews our judgment toward the first number seen* — The first piece of information we're given (even if irrelevant) quietly shapes every estimate that follows.
2. *Hindsight bias makes outcomes feel obvious after the fact* — Once we know how something turned out, we convince ourselves we 'knew it all along.'
3. *The halo effect lets one trait color everything else* — If we find someone attractive or likeable, we tend to unconsciously assume they're also smarter or kinder.
4. *Sunk cost fallacy keeps us in bad situations* — We keep investing time or money into something simply because we've already invested, not because it still makes sense.
5. *Confirmation bias filters out disagreeing evidence* — We naturally notice and remember information that confirms what we already believe, and downplay what contradicts it.
6. *The availability heuristic overweights vivid memories* — We judge how common or likely something is by how easily an example comes to mind — not by actual statistics.
7. *The Dunning-Kruger effect hides its own blind spot* — People with limited knowledge in an area often overestimate their competence, because the skill needed to judge competence is the same skill they lack.
8. *The IKEA effect inflates the value of things we build ourselves* — We overvalue what we've personally assembled or created, regardless of its objective quality.

1. *Spaced repetition beats cramming* — Spreading study sessions out over time produces dramatically better long-term retention than massing them together.

1. *The fundamental attribution error blames character over context* — We tend to explain other people's mistakes by their personality, while explaining our own by circumstances.

👁️ *8 facts: Habits & Self-Improvement*
1. *Small identity shifts change behavior more than goals do* — 'I'm becoming someone who reads' tends to sustain a habit longer than 'I want to read more books.'
2. *There's no universal '21 days' rule for habits* — Research suggests habit formation actually ranges widely — often 18 to over 250 days depending on the behavior and person.
3. *Tracking a habit increases the odds you'll keep it* — Simple self-monitoring — writing it down, checking a box — measurably improves habit consistency.
4. *Specific goals outperform vague ones* — 'Walk 20 minutes daily' consistently beats 'exercise more' at producing actual behavior change.
5. *Habits run on a cue-routine-reward loop* — Every habit starts with a trigger, followed by a behavior, followed by a reward that reinforces the loop.
6. *A growth mindset changes how setbacks are processed* — Believing abilities can be developed (rather than being fixed) tends to produce more resilience after failure.
7. *Environment design beats motivation for consistency* — Removing friction from good habits (and adding friction to bad ones) outperforms relying on willpower alone.
8. *Willpower behaves more like a skill than a fixed resource* — Recent research pushes back on the idea that willpower is simply drained like a battery — mindset and framing matter.

💡 *8 things psychology says about social psychology*
1. *Groupthink favors harmony over honest debate* — Tight-knit groups can suppress dissenting opinions just to preserve consensus — sometimes leading to worse decisions.
2. *First impressions form within seconds* — People form lasting judgments about competence and trustworthiness in well under a tenth of a second.
3. *Obedience to authority can override personal ethics* — Historic obedience studies revealed how far ordinary people will comply with instructions from a perceived authority figure.
4. *Reciprocity is one of the strongest social pulls* — Once someone does something for us, we feel a strong, often unconscious pull to return the favor.
5. *Anonymity lowers inhibition* — People behave more impulsively and less empathetically when they believe they can't be identified or held accountable.
6. *Social proof shapes decisions more than we realize* — We use other people's behavior as a shortcut for figuring out the 'right' action in an unfamiliar situation.
7. *The bystander effect reduces the odds anyone helps* — The more people who witness an emergency, the less likely any single person feels personally responsible to act.
8. *Conformity can override what we know is true* — Classic experiments show people will give an answer they know is wrong simply to match group consensus.

1. *Negging plants small doubts disguised as compliments* — Backhanded remarks are designed to lower someone's confidence just enough to make them seek approval.

3. *Guilt-tripping outsources responsibility* — Making someone feel responsible for your emotions is a way of avoiding direct, honest communication.

✨ *6 facts: Memory & Learning*
1. *Sleep consolidates what you learned that day* — Deep sleep stages actively transfer new information from short-term to long-term memory storage.

3. *Blink rate rises under stress* — Anxiety and pressure increase blinking frequency well above the relaxed baseline of about 15–20 blinks per minute.
4. *Steepled fingers can project confidence* — Pressing fingertips together in a 'steeple' shape is often read as a sign of certainty or authority.
