Definition

For decisions that require the application of strict rules, the conscious mind must be involved

Notes

• For decisions that involve large amounts of information and multiple vague, and perhaps even conflicting, constraints, your unconscious mind is well suited to tackle the issue.
• The conscious mind is like a home computer on which you can run carefully written programs that return correct answers to limited problems
• The unconscious mind is like 20220708 - Google's vast data centers in which statistical algorithms sift through unstructured information, teasing out surprising useful solutions to difficult questions.
• Providing your conscious mind time to rest enables your unconscious mind to take a shift sorting through your most complex professional challenges
