When psychologists asked people to log what they were doing hour by hour, roughly 43 percent of daily behaviour turned out to be habit — done in the same place while the mind was somewhere else entirely

In the late 1990s, psychologist Wendy Wood paged undergraduates every hour and asked them to log what they were doing. About 43 percent of their behaviour turned out to be habit — performed in the same place while their minds wandered somewhere else.

Psychology says people who do their best thinking alone and feel drained after socialising aren’t holding themselves back — research suggests they’re processing information more deeply than the room around them

There is a familiar misreading of quiet people in loud rooms. They are assumed to be hesitant, under-confident, uninterested, or simply not pushing themselves hard enough. But the person who does their best thinking alone and feels emptied out after a long stretch of socialising may not be falling short of the room. They may ... Read more Read more

The African Union's Great Green Wall is meant to run 8,000 kilometres from Senegal's Atlantic coast to Djibouti's Red Sea shore — a belt of restored land long enough to cross the continental United States twice.

Psychology says people who find the first year of retirement harder than any year of work aren’t failing to enjoy freedom — they’re grieving a structure that provided identity, routine, and the low-level human contact that kept loneliness at bay without anyone noticing

My dad spent the better part of forty years walking into the same office.

For most of history people met their partners through family, church or friends; now, the most common way American couples meet is online — algorithms displacing the matchmaker once played by family and friends

For most of the twentieth century, finding a partner in America was a community project. Family made introductions. Church socials, neighbourhood gatherings, and the friend who knew someone worth meeting did the quiet work of pairing people off. That arrangement held for most of the century, but no longer. A study of American couples found ... Read more Read more
