Why NOT work out your brain? Right, randomhouse?
Now, Balcetis — an associate professor of psychology at New York University — has written a book on how we can all train ourselves to use this"perception gap" to our advantage.
At one point in our conversation, Piccoli pulled out his phone and on it I saw something unusual. It was his list of lists. Every day, for almost five years now, he had been making a list of ten things. Anything. He makes lists of ten ways to improve the experience of flying for people in wheelchairs, ten things people don't like about picture frames, ten ways to grow basil. On one list he shared with me, I saw ten proposed business partnerships that resembled a game of celebrity hookup.
That the written form is obligatory seemed so evident to him, but so dispensable to me at the moment. I have never been one to make to-do lists. The few times I tried, crossing things off when I completed them didn't rev me up. I put make to-do list on my to-do list, and crossed that off too. Didn't do it for me either. My nonplussed reaction aside, plenty of other people feel empowered when they chronicle their responsibilities in this way.
He did. And the conversation was a great skip down memory lane. We talked about state marching band competitions and the perennial rival we could never quite topple, and reminisced about how bad the bus smelled on long road trips. After a while, I asked him how he got kids into a routine of practicing every day, or as close to that as possible. He reminded me of the time sheets we, the sprouting virtuosos, had filled out and turned in each week at our music lessons.
