Can anyone remember this thread?

My search skills are not in balance with the force tonight.

It was a link to a website that debunked common misconceptions, posted in the last month or so in GD.

Someone will find it in 0.1 nanoseconds and embarrass me I know, but I'm prepared for that. It's driving me nuts!

Was it in this thread?

No, and I'm feeling better now because it's not been found instantly.

The first post had a link to a site that had quite an in-depth look at certain misconceptions people made and why they happened. I remember one about positive reinforcement talking about how people get stuck in patterns or ruts because they're reinforcing earlier decisions, even if they were the wrong decisions, because people don't like admitting they mad mistakes in the past.

Not much to go on I know

I thought it was only a day or two ago - ended up trawling through a dozen or more man-sized pages :/

But you're welcome

God... that one about procrastination is depressing.

ha, just read that one about procrastination.

Think I'll just read one more then I'll do something productive.

I was going to read the one on procrastination, but I think I'll read it tomorrow instead.
