“We focus on our goal, anchor on our plan, and neglect relevant base rates, exposing ourselves to the planning fallacy. We focus on what we want to do and can do, neglecting the plans and skills of others.

We focus on what we know and neglect what we do not know, which makes us overly confident in our beliefs.”
