From birth, our mind develops many habits and shortcuts
These shortcuts form System 1 thinking - our lifetime autopilot
95% of all our decisions are made by System 1 thinking
System 2 thinking is logical and deliberate
System 2 thinking is tightly constrained by available metabolic/cognitive energy
What if System 2 doesn't want to step in and System 1 doesn't have a decision?
Immediate survival is prioritized over long-term consequences
Doesn't matter how important it is. We just put it off!
System 3 maximizes your mind's capacity
Takes on all the heavy lifting
Prevents cognitive energy waste and supports mental recovery
Acts as your personal AI coach, guiding you to build lasting habits
Turns complex problems into System-1-ready actions
