Sub presiune nu lucrăm mai bine. Doar mai repede, spune un expert în economie comportamentală

Rodica Ianole-Călin, a behavioral economics expert, discusses how financial and time pressures narrow our focus, impacting cognitive performance. Studies show that financial worries can reduce IQ scores, as individuals become fixated on immediate problems. This phenomenon, termed the 'tunnel effect', makes it difficult to think beyond pressing issues. Ianole-Călin suggests proactive measures, such as automatic bill payments and careful task scheduling, to mitigate stress. She emphasizes that working under pressure may increase efficiency but not necessarily improve quality. Additionally, she highlights the importance of planning finances calmly and recognizing the true costs of missed opportunities due to financial strain.
