@david_epstein: Psychological research calls it subtractive neglect: when people try to improve their lives, they almost never think to remove something, even when subtraction is the most effective solution. So the next time you set goals, instead of adding more to your list, make everything you're already committed to visible first, then decide what to take away.
I would like to read what was the EXACT instruction for that Lego task.

losing weight is a good example, people usualy try to add more workout or supplements instead of removing excess food

I have noticed this when trying to change lanes people always speed up instead of slowing down.

Same thing with finances, making more money is great but even better is SUBTRACTING how much you’re spending

Subtrack is my word of the year. It’s counterintuitive and hard but helps me change my routine thinking. Among other things, I started walking outside several times a day to do absolutely nothing. It makes such a difference.

that attitude was imposed on humans on purpose through propoganda. the economy is built on everyone believeing that to solve a problem, you must always add, buy, do etc. never substract. always need something external

that is a bad example because the freezing of the question does have a huge influence as well

Maybe the question in the Lego study was poorly formulated. If you said “bolster the structure,” one could presume that the “blocking” piece was part of the structure.
