Dehay's Axiom

Sep 30, 2015 14:44
Some people put simple jobs off, and try to complete complex jobs.

Because they think there will be time to these simple jobs later.

However, in most cases, completing simple jobs ahead seems to be more productive.

This psychological law is called Dehay's Axiom.

Actually, I eat all foods that I don't like first, then eat favorite foods.

This also might be Dehay's Axiom.
ディヘイの公理

簡単な仕事を先延ばしにして、難しいことから終わらせようとする人々がいます。

なぜならば、簡単であればいつでもできるからと考えるからです。

しかし多くの場合、簡単なことから終わらせたほうが効果的であるようです。

この心理的作用は、ディヘイの公理と呼ばれます。

私は嫌いな食べ物を先に全て食べ、それから好きな食べ物を食べます。

これもディヘイの公理かもしれません。

  • Because they think there will be time to do them later.
    　Them は簡単な仕事のことです。前の文のあと続いてるから省略しました。
英語の勉強するときも、ディヘイの公理になりますか？^-^

Thank you so much always for correcting my post! (^^)
Haha, 私は英語の勉強に対しては、ディヘイの公理と正反対かもしれません。
英語で論文を書かなければいけないのに、単語や熟語の勉強や lang-8 で簡単な文章を書く練習ばかりしています（笑）
Sharu
はるかに正反対でしょう（笑）
論文、頑張ってね～
