      <description>&lt;p&gt;Behavioral economist Dan Ariely, the author of Predictably Irrational, uses classic visual illusions and his own counterintuitive (and sometimes shocking) research findings to show how we’re not as rational as we think when we make decisions.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2 id=&#34;the-video&#34; class=&#34;heading &#34;&gt;The video&lt;a href=&#34;#the-video&#34; aria-labelledby=&#34;the-video&#34;&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&#xA;&#xA;&#xA;&#xA;&#xA;                &#xA;                        &#xA;                        &#xA;                        &lt;svg class=&#34;svg-inline--fa fas fa-link anchor&#34; fill=&#34;currentColor&#34; aria-hidden=&#34;true&#34; role=&#34;img&#34; viewBox=&#34;0 0 576 512&#34; overflow=&#34;visible&#34;&gt;&lt;use href=&#34;#fas-link&#34;&gt;&lt;/use&gt;&lt;/svg&gt;&amp;nbsp;&#xA;    &lt;/a&gt;&#xA;&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;      &lt;div&#xA;        data-youtube-facade style=&#34;position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0; overflow: hidden;&#34;&gt;&#xA;        &lt;button&#xA;          type=&#34;button&#34;&#xA;          class=&#34;youtube-facade__play&#34;&#xA;          style=&#34;position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; padding: 0; margin: 0; border: 0; background: transparent; cursor: pointer;&#34;&#xA;          aria-label=&#34;YouTube video&#34;&#xA;          data-iframe-src=&#34;https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/9X68dm92HVI?autoplay=1&amp;amp;controls=1&amp;amp;end=0&amp;amp;loop=0&amp;amp;mute=0&amp;amp;start=0&#34;&#xA;          data-iframe-allow=&#34;accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share; fullscreen&#34;&#xA;          data-referrerpolicy=&#34;strict-origin-when-cross-origin&#34;&#xA;          data-iframe-loading=&#34;eager&#34;&#xA;        &gt;&#xA;          &lt;img&#xA;            data-youtube-poster&#xA;            src=&#34;https://i.ytimg.com/vi/9X68dm92HVI/maxresdefault.jpg&#34;&#xA;            data-poster-fallback=&#34;https://i.ytimg.com/vi/9X68dm92HVI/hqdefault.jpg&#34;&#xA;            alt=&#34;TED: Dan Ariely - Are we in control of our own decisions?&#34;&#xA;            loading=&#34;lazy&#34;&#xA;            decoding=&#34;async&#34;&#xA;            style=&#34;position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; object-fit: cover; border: 0; display: block;&#34;&#xA;          &gt;&#xA;          &lt;span&#xA;            style=&#34;position: absolute; inset: 0; display: flex; align-items: center; justify-content: center; pointer-events: none; background: rgba(0,0,0,0.12);&#34;&#xA;            aria-hidden=&#34;true&#34;&#xA;          &gt;&#xA;            &lt;span&#xA;              style=&#34;display: flex; align-items: center; justify-content: center; width: 4rem; height: 4rem; background: rgba(255,0,0,0.88); border-radius: 14px; box-shadow: 0 4px 14px rgba(0,0,0,0.35);&#34;&#xA;            &gt;&#xA;              &lt;svg width=&#34;28&#34; height=&#34;28&#34; viewBox=&#34;0 0 24 24&#34; fill=&#34;#fff&#34; aria-hidden=&#34;true&#34; focusable=&#34;false&#34;&gt;&#xA;                &lt;path d=&#34;M8 5v14l11-7z&#34; /&gt;&#xA;              &lt;/svg&gt;&#xA;            &lt;/span&gt;&#xA;          &lt;/span&gt;&#xA;        &lt;/button&gt;&#xA;      &lt;/div&gt;&#xA;      &lt;noscript&gt;&#xA;        &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9X68dm92HVI&#34; rel=&#34;noopener noreferrer&#34;&gt;Watch on YouTube&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>The paradox of choice</title>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Here we go, all kinds of choices that customers can, or should, choose from. Because you have to put the customer first, right? But can you do that with this? See here: the paradox of choice(s)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2 id=&#34;the-paradox-of-choice&#34; class=&#34;heading &#34;&gt;The paradox of choice&lt;a href=&#34;#the-paradox-of-choice&#34; aria-labelledby=&#34;the-paradox-of-choice&#34;&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&#xA;&#xA;&#xA;&#xA;&#xA;                &#xA;                        &#xA;                        &#xA;                        &lt;svg class=&#34;svg-inline--fa fas fa-link anchor&#34; fill=&#34;currentColor&#34; aria-hidden=&#34;true&#34; role=&#34;img&#34; viewBox=&#34;0 0 576 512&#34; overflow=&#34;visible&#34;&gt;&lt;use href=&#34;#fas-link&#34;&gt;&lt;/use&gt;&lt;/svg&gt;&amp;nbsp;&#xA;    &lt;/a&gt;&#xA;&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You may not have heard of it before, but the paradox of choice is the phenomenon where an abundance of choices and options can cause us more stress, anxiety and uncertainty instead of giving us more freedom and happiness. This paradox can occur in various places in our daily lives, from choosing a meal at a restaurant to choosing a partner or a career.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <guid>https://ajelsinga.nl/en/2010/are-we-using-the-wrong-way-to-motivate/</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Yesterday I watched a video about motivation from &#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.ted.com&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34; rel=&#34;noopener noreferrer&#34;&gt;TED&lt;svg class=&#34;svg-inline--fa bi bi-box-arrow-up-right fa-2xs&#34;&#xA;         fill=&#34;currentColor&#34;&#xA;         aria-hidden=&#34;true&#34;&#xA;         role=&#34;img&#34;&#xA;         viewBox=&#34;0 0 16 16&#34;&#xA;         overflow=&#34;visible&#34;&gt;&#xA;      &lt;path fill-rule=&#34;evenodd&#34; d=&#34;M8.636 3.5a.5.5.0 00-.5-.5H1.5A1.5 1.5.0 000 4.5v10A1.5 1.5.0 001.5 16h10a1.5 1.5.0 001.5-1.5V7.864a.5.5.0 00-1 0V14.5a.5.5.0 01-.5.5h-10a.5.5.0 01-.5-.5v-10a.5.5.0 01.5-.5h6.636a.5.5.0 00.5-.5&#34;&gt;&lt;/path&gt;&#xA;      &lt;path fill-rule=&#34;evenodd&#34; d=&#34;M16 .5a.5.5.0 00-.5-.5h-5a.5.5.0 000 1h3.793L6.146 9.146a.5.5.0 10.708.708L15 1.707V5.5a.5.5.0 001 0z&#34;&gt;&lt;/path&gt;&#xA;    &lt;/svg&gt;&#xA;  &lt;/a&gt;. To be honest, I was somewhat suprised. It looks like the way we try to motivate our people is not always the best way. Sometimes the way we motivate is worse than no motivation at all.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

Today I finally enrolled myself into a course for work and organisation related psychology course.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Although I’m in the IT business the relation aspect is very important. Not only with clients, but also with collegues and team members. With this course I (hope to) learn all kinds of psychology things that can help me do my work/job.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
